PC:Find Disk Usage

From The Scripters Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a question that has often been problematic. Particularly on Windows machines. Size seems to disappear. There are a number of ways to find the answer.

One way, is to use a program like Disk Usage. This program is handy and will allow output of directory sizes.

I used the command: du -v "D:\Program Files">out.txt and got this (excerpt):
