This is actually a repost and I do not want to claim any credits for this post - see the original here by Jason Himmelstein (<= thank you!!!). Why do I repost? I never find the PowerShell when I need it, even tho I have it in my almighty OneNote!

Just use search and query for size>41943040 Well, I said efficiently and thats the most efficient way - you are right! They key constraint here is that those files were excluded from search - so lets go for the PowerShell way.
