3 Ways to Show/View Folder Size in Windows 10 - How Can I See The Size Of A Folder In Windows?

 

Good morning AskPerf. You can view the size of folders by hovering over the folders in Windows Explorer as shown below :. The primary reason why the Windows UI does not provide this functionality is performance. Every time you navigate through a folder structure in Windows Explorer, the OS would have to perform a recursive scan of the subfolder structure within each folder to get the file and folder sizes and add them up.

This would create significant processor overhead — especially if you think about scenarios home folders for example , where the nested directory structure for each user may be several levels deep and consist of thousands of files and folders.

Extend the scenario from the local machine and add in users who are browsing through a directory structure across the network and the performance hit would grow exponentially. There are instances where turning this option off may provide a performance increase for example, complex, multi-level nested folder structures on the local system. When this value is set to 1 , Change Notify requests are turned off for file and folder changes occurring in mapped network share subfolders.

If a file or folder is change in the root and first folder level of the mapped share, a Change Notify event is still sent by the server. However if a change is made at the second level or deeper in the structure, no Change Notify is sent. This registry setting is set on the client machines.
