How to find and hide the largest resources in your library?
Ok, so basically I am wanting to know how to find what resources in my library are the largest (in file size)? This would be very handy if trying to load a large Logos 6 library on a computer that has limited disk space. It is my understanding that if you hide a resource from your library, it will not download it or it will delete the local copy, is that correct? If so, then being able to isolate the largest files in the Logos library and hide them could potentially be a quick way to allow Logos to run on a computer that is running out of disk space. Does my question make sense? I hope so.
I have looked in the resources folder on my file system (/Users/timtaylor/Library/Application Support/Logos4/Data/ddecr09m.7in/ResourceManager/Resources) and after sorting by largest file size, I found this (see screenshot), but I'm not always able to figure out which resource these filenames match with. It seems as if I'm close but missing one last step. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
P. S. I apologize if this has already been discussed and if so I ask that you provide links to the relevant discussions.

You can copy the resource file name (minus the suffix) and paste it in the Command Bar:

Nice, this is the kind of trick I was looking for, I should have tried that!
I tried searching Logos.com for the filename but that didn't seem to work. This is great, thanks again! 0 -

Hmmm, maybe I spoke too soon. This doesn't seem to be working for me! What am I doing wrong? Notice I'm selecting from the list I posted in the screenshot of my original post. I see no "Open" option with an actual title name.

Well, the ELNT is an audio file, so maybe that's why it doesn't work.
The other one I don't have, but I have a similar one that does work:
Yours must be Romans.
I don't know...maybe you have a corrupted file?

Before you get too far down this road: The "hidden resources" preferences syncs with the cloud. This means that the resources get removed from mobile and other installations as well.

Correct; this is a "data" resource that powers the Greek Audio New Testament. Because it doesn't appear in the Library, it can't be hidden in the current version of Logos.
