Steven's solution is arguably better than mine. :)
-----get-foldersize.ps1-----

}

else
{

}

Can you tell a PS novice how to get this to sort by size? That would make it
perfect.

I wrote this for someone here (well, on some mailing list, I think it was this
one) a couple months ago, but I use it all the time now.
-----get-foldersize.ps1-----
function Get-FolderSize( $path = $home )
{
$code = { ('{0:0.0} MB' -f ($this/1MB)) }
Get-ChildItem -Path $Path |
Where-Object { $_.Length -eq $null } |
ForEach-Object {
Write-Progress -Activity 'Calculating Total Size for:' -Status
$_.FullName
$sum = Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$bytes = $sum.Sum
if ($bytes -eq $null) { $bytes = 0 }
$result = 1 | Select-Object -Property Path, TotalSize
$result.Path = $_.FullName
$result.TotalSize = $bytes |
Add-Member -MemberType ScriptMethod -Name toString -Value $code -Force
-PassThru
$result
}
}
Get-FolderSize $args
-----get-foldersize.ps1-----
Example:
PS C:\Scripts> .\Get-FolderSize.ps1 c:\windows
Path TotalSize
---- ---------
C:\windows\ADAM 3.6 MB
C:\windows\ADWS 0.7 MB
C:\windows\AppCompat 0.1 MB

Subject: Easy Way to View and Sort By Folder Sizes
We use folder redirection here, and I'm trying to get a handle on which users
have the most stuff.
So we have something like:
x:\path\user1
x:\path\user2
x:\path\user3
and so on.
I'd like to look at x:\path and sort all the folders in it by size, displaying
the size in MB. So the results would be something like:
x:\path\user3 500 MB
x:\path\user1 200 MB
x:\path\user2 100 MB
What's the easiest way to do this?
I'll need specifics (e.g., don't tell me I can do it with PS unless you're
gonna tell me precisely how).
