I'm having space issues on my Vista machine and need to figure out what's taking up so much space.
I would like to write a simple batch file that returns all folders under C: and the size of each folder.
The dir
command doesn't appear to return folder size.
Unfortunately we don't have admin rights and can't install a third party application and we have other users in our group that also need this information.
I'd have a look at this thread for some clues as to how to achieve the directory size:
Batch File To Display Directory Size
Otherwise:
dirsize:
@echo off
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /a value=0
set /a sum=0
FOR /R %1 %%I IN (*) DO (
set /a value=%%~zI/1024
set /a sum=!sum!+!value!
)
@echo %CD%:!sum! k
AllDirSize:
echo off
set WORKING_DIRECTORY=%cd%
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:D /D /B /S') do (
echo off
cd %%a
"%WORKING_DIRECTORY%"\dirsize "%%a"
cd %WORKING_DIRECTORY%
)
Use it: ALLDIRSIZE > C:\temp\FileContainingFolderSizes.txt
Which is taken from the excellent Richard Bishop testing forums: http://www.bish.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=58.0
Not exactly answering your question, but if you have GUI access I'd suggest using TreeSize:

If you prefer command line use du command from Unix utils:
