How can I find big content to delete on my PS3?

I keep running out of space on my 250GB PS3, thanks in large part of my PS+ subscription. Every time I go to download a new big game, I have to trawl through the stuff I'm not using to find what's taking up so much space.

I haven't seen a way to "sort by size" or anything, and sometimes the big stuff is hiding in a subfolder -- I know about the Game Data Utility, but there are also some that put big files in the regular Save Data too. Checking every single entry is incredibly time-consuming.

Is there a simple way to pull up big files I haven't used in a long time?
