Yes, there are various tools and methods available to verify the size of a file and then remove it.

One way is to use the command-line tool "du" (disk usage) in Unix/Linux systems or PowerShell in Windows to check the size of the file, and then use the command "rm" or "del" to remove it. For example, in Unix/Linux systems, you can use the following command to find the size of a file:

du -sh /path/to/file

This will output the size of the file in a human-readable format (e.g. 1.5 GB). To remove the file, you can use the following command:

rm /path/to/file

In Windows PowerShell, you can use the following command to find the size of a file:

Get-Item ./path/to/file.extension | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Length

This will output the size of the file in bytes. To remove the file, you can use the following command:

Remove-Item ./path/to/file.extension

Note that these commands may require administrative privileges on your system, and you should use them with caution to avoid accidental deletion of important files.
