Folder Size

Introduction

Folder Size is a powerful tool to help you see how much space takes a folder on your system. The space taken by a folder consists of all the space taken by the files and folders within this folder.

This information will let you manage your drives more easily. For example if you need more disk space, just run Folder Size and you will quickly find where are the large files on your system and you will be able to delete them if you do not need them anymore.
