Get Folder Size from Windows Command Line

Question

Is it possible in Windows to get a folder\'s size from the command line without using any 3rd party tool?

I want the same result as you would get when right clicking

Answer 1

Oneliner:

powershell -command "$fso = new-object -com Scripting.FileSystemObject; gci -Directory | select @{l='Size'; e={$fso.GetFolder($_.FullName).Size}},FullName | sort Size -Descending | ft @{l='Size [MB]'; e={'{0:N2}    ' -f ($_.Size / 1MB)}},FullName"

Same but Powershell only:

$fso = new-object -com Scripting.FileSystemObject
gci -Directory `
  | select @{l='Size'; e={$fso.GetFolder($_.FullName).Size}},FullName `
  | sort Size -Descending `
  | ft @{l='Size [MB]'; e={'{0:N2}    ' -f ($_.Size / 1MB)}},FullName

This should produce the following result:

Size [MB]  FullName
