Windows 10: Cortana and Windows Search
1. Removing metadata from documents or photo shared on the web is of critical importance. There are several reasons for that:
- Metadata contains irrelevant information which would not be of any use to business
- This would take up storage on cloud (or say remote machines)., On a large scale, this would potentially account for GBs of data saved,
- Hackers can get access to personal data or personally identifiable information. With photo's metadata, anyone can easily get user's location. User might not want to reveal those details to anyone, not even the business, if irrelevant to them.
2. Can you elaborate a bit on this question in comments section?
3. Search for files between 0-16KB
forfiles /P C:\ /S /C "cmd /c if @fsize LSS 2018 echo @path @file"
This will search for all files in C drive that are less than 16KB
4.Search for files modified before 01/01/2019
forfiles /P C:\ /S /D -01/01/2019
Change the date accordingly..
'-' preceding the date indicates to search before that date, while '+' would indicate after that date
Forfiles parameters:
/P -> specifies path from where to start the search
/S -> specifies to recursively search in all sub directories
/D -> specifies date
/C -> runs the command on each file
/m -> search mask (ignored in our command since default is *.*)

Hope this helps :)
