Use the query below in any database to identify the largest tables in that database.

SELECT
t.NAME AS TableName,
s.Name AS SchemaName,
(SUM(a.total_pages) * 8)  AS TotalSpaceKB,
(SUM(a.total_pages) * 8) /1024 / 1024 AS TotalSpaceGB,
SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 AS UsedSpaceKB,
(SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8 AS UnusedSpaceKB
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID AND i.index_id = p.index_id
INNER JOIN sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE
t.NAME NOT LIKE 'dt%'
GROUP BY t.Name, s.Name
ORDER BY (SUM(a.total_pages) * 8) desc
