folder size

Microsoft’s recent nudge to users — asking “what do you miss most in Windows?” — is more than a PR moment; it’s a revealing sign that the company is wrestling with conflicting priorities for Windows 11: glossy AI capabilities and the long list of everyday quality‑of‑life features that power...

Windows 11’s design choices have divided users since launch, and a growing cadre of third‑party developers has been quietly restoring the controls Microsoft removed. One of the most complete and community‑driven solutions is Windhawk, an open‑source mod manager that bundles dozens of focused...

Windows 11 has brought a sleeker interface and numerous improvements to File Explorer. However, there's one feature that many users find elusive: the ability to display folder sizes directly within the File Explorer view. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the absence of this basic functionality...

Hi there, I have installed Win10 on my laptop & also python, brave browser & putty. The windows folder is 45GB so, I think I might have a previous build or old version saved somewhere - I don't know. Is there a way of checking? Many thanks John

Can I Degrade Windows10 to Windows7.. I am looking for stuff to delete, so I can have more space. This Windows10 folder is 3.26GB. I don't think it does anything other than taking space. Suggest Asap...

My hard drive is getting full. Is there a way to see all at once which folders are the largest? I know I can open the properties for each one, but I remember years ago before Windows there was a utility called "Keep Track" that showed all the folders and their sizes all at once. That would be...

My Windows folder in C drive is occupying 50gb of disk space. But the total space used by individual files in that folder adds up to 20gb. Please help me to remove that 30gb

So, I've been having issues with my main harddrive (A 250gb Samsung 750 Evo SSD) constantly becoming full, mainly as a result of downloads and whatnot after having not much space left. So i decided to do a thorough search for the main problem, and strangely enough, it seems to be the Onedrive...

An investigation of my 64bit Win 7 systems shows that the folder C:\Windows\assembyl\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp\ has almost 12 GB content. I have never seen such a big space occupation before (for a Windows "Temp") directory. I must have bloated in the last weeks. What could be the...

I was having space problems on my SSD so I checked what is taking up so much space with SpaceMonger and it turns out my Windows folder is 40GB big. How normal is this and how could I get it smaller? I have only had this new SSD with windows for a year. :/

I am attempting to do what I thought should be a simple Windows & function: to display the size of a folder just as it does individual file size. Surely this is possible in Windows 7??? I have searched for an answer to no avail.:( The folder size should be able to be displayed before it is...

i do a backup of my stuff manually each month via an ext. HD. right now, i was backing up my AppData folder (so much is in there!). being anal, i compared the size of my laptop's internal HD compared to the ext drive when it was done. results: internal: 5+ BG ext. 2+ GB so i compared the...

does anyone here know how to set a default folder size, so that every window opened will display my folders the same size? i like the bigger folders and would like to set it for the entire system, instead of having to continually reset it every time i open a new folder. thanks!

I got a new computer. SSD and HDD. I only installed windows and a few programs on the ssd. The windows folder is 18gb. How do I get rid of like half of it ? Thanks in advance

When I marked a whole folder or a couple of files in Windows Explorer in Windows XP then the sum/total size of all marked files is (was) shown in the status bar in the bottom of the WinExp window. After migrating to Win7 this value is not shown any more. Do I have to enable this feature...

Ulimately, I just want folder size to be displayed when viewing in details mode but it seems that isn't an option with windows 7 so the next best thing is when you hover the mouse curser over the file and the metadata pops up (I think it's called tooltips) with the file size in it - but this is...

I recently found my hard drive to have grown hugely in terms of memory usage. On closer inspection, it seems my app data file - usually hidden under 'documents - is more than 10 Gb in size. I have no ideal what the app data folder does and whether it is important? Is there any way I can...

Hi, I just joined, hope I havent missed posting anywhere else first. I cannot figure out how to keep my folder windows the size I want them when I click on an application that requires me to browse for a picture/document... And also, I keep resizing images to large but they keep falling...

Hi, Upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7 Pro and mostly good. Badly miss the little utility that added features to the top bar in Windows Explorer, 'Folder Size' for photos etc. Anyone know of a replacement?

I figured losing all the information from the Windows Explorer status bar wouldn't be a real big hassle but I've just realized it is...... I create directories to hold digital images, and those directories need to be the right size to write to a DVD. In XP all I needed to do was click on the...
