Vista - determine folder size on DISK

4 Weeks Ago

Hello,

I use the following script to determine the size of a specific folder. Which
argument can I use to view the size on disk?

$colItems = (Get-ChildItem C:\Folder -recurse | Measure-Object -property
length -sum)
"{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1MB) + " MB"

best regards,

JuergenN

Hi Martin,

thanks for the link but i don't use compressed files. Do you have an example
script without compressed file info?

best regards,

Hi Juergen,

that link is not about compressed files, by rather about
GetPhysicalFileSize function.

This function should give you size on the disk.

Hi,

the following script works (for example with a cluster size of 4kb)

$colItems = (Get-ChildItem c:\folder -recurse | foreach-object -process
{[math]::Ceiling($_.length / 4096)} | Measure-Object -sum)
"{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum * 4096 / 1MB) + " MB"

best regards,

Juergen N.
