Re: Problem with everything indexing / finding items
You could delete everything.db
Use Search Everything to find them (there might be a couple), right click and open path (because you won't be able to delete it when Everything is active), close and make sure you have exited everything (from the systray too) and then delete the files and restart.

It takes almost the same amount of time to find the single largest file as to find the top 100. Why? To know that any given file is the largest you must read the size of every file.
