CloneSensor doesn't search the Read-only, Hidden and System files by default. You can choose the file attributes (Read-only, Hidden, System) to search, but attention, the system files and directories are normally marked and used by system, if you delete a system file or directory, your system maybe crash. Also, if the hidden files and directories are marked by system or other softwares, they maybe store the special information used by system or other softwares, delete those files maybe let system or other softwares function not right.
You may filter files by size, as long as you check the checkbox "more than" and "less than", and fill the size you want.
