Hello,

I am trying to find out how much disk space the various files & folders in
my 'Documents' take up.

I know how to get the size of individual files, and individual folders, but
is there a way of showing the folder tree with the sizes of all files ,
folders, sub-folders ate the same time ?

Thanks

KK

Hi KK,

No, there isn't a way of having that show in Windows Explorer, but the
general tab of the folder's properties will give you the detailed
information.

You would need a 3rd party program, e.g.

There is an excellent (free) program written in Java (yay!) called
JDiskReport which I use all the time. It displays the distribution of disk
usage graphically and will even list the biggest 100 files and graph their
size distributions. GIYF.

Right click on the folder then open "properties" Size and number of
files should be there.

That's a great utility.
I run it every once in a while and occasionally find some very large
temporary files
that I can clean out...
stuff I may not have noticed otherwise
