Checking an items or a folders size is pretty easy on all Windows computers.
Just right-tap the directory/item, click Properties, and you have the size in front of you.
Not everyone is as lucky as you.
There surely has to be a quicker way to check the folder size.
For whatever reason, you might instantly get the size of a folder/directory usingWindows PowerShell.
We have a separate guide on how toget folder sizes using File Explorer and third-party apps.
These commands can be used together with switches and parameters to filter the results further.
Details:This command grabs the information from one or specified directories, including the sub-directories.
However, it does not display the empty directories.
The approximate size of the items inside the ISOs folder is 83 GBs.
Note:Replace GB and MB as needed.
If the parent directory has sub-directories, then the size of the items wouldnotbe accumulated in the results.
To get the size of the items inside the sub-folders as well, you must use the -Recurse parameter.
This is used in conjecture with -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to bypass directory access errors like Permission is denied etc.
That can also be accomplished using PowerShell.
Take your pick and find out the size of your folder(s).
