Powershell: Get file- and foldersize for given path

frank May 11, 2016 No Comments

Quick and dirty little thing I use to get the file- and foldersize for any given path.

# Get-pathsize.ps1
# Use: C:scriptsget-pathsize.ps1 -path <your-path>

param (
$path
)

try {
 Get-ChildItem $path -Hidden -ErrorAction Stop
}

catch {
 $_.exception
 break
}

$colItems = (Get-ChildItem $path -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum) 
[int]$size = [math]::round($colItems.sum /1MB, 2) 
write-host "Files and foldersize in $path is: $size MB"
