How can I find the total size of all files in a folder and its subfolders?

Question

I want to copy them to a DVD, and there are so many that they may not fit.

I'm running Windows XP.

Answer 1

Right Click the folder and go to Properties. It will tell you the size of the folder and all the files inside.

Answer 2

If you are using CD Creator it will calculate it for you, otherwise go to Windows Explorer, right-click on the folder that contains everything and choose Properties. It tells you under Size on Disk.

Answer 3

just right click on the file and select properties it will bring up a window and will tell you the amount that is being used.

Answer 4

I haven't played with it enough to be sure, but I think you can right-click on a folder and select properties. In there it will show you how much space it takes up. What I'm not sure about is if it is just the size of that folder or if it includes all the subfolders. It would only make sense to include them, but that doesn't necessarily make it true.

Answer 5

Right click on the folder and select "properties" from the drop-down menu.

Answer 6

Right-click and go to 'Properties'
