Let's pick the location as $HOME/random. We don't know under what directory these .mp4 files would be. Therefore, do the following:

1. Perform a recursive listing of files
2. Add a parameter, Name, that lists out only the .mp4 files
3. Use the CreationTime property of the file to determine the age
4. Perform a filter based on the size (Length) of the file
5. Use the Sort-Object and the Select-Object cmdlets to pick the five largest files

$ThresholdDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)Get-ChildItem $HOME/random -rec -na *.mp4  | Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -lt $ThresholdDate -and $_.Length -gt 100KB }# Verbose version: Get-ChildItem $HOME/random -Recurse -Name *.mp4 | Where-Object -FilterScript ...
