Features

• A primitive tool for getting folder(s) sizes
• Command line environment only
• Supports both folders and disks as arguments
• Recursive passes through subfolders
• Calculates size of each folder
• Analyzes on defined depth of subfolders
• Sets limit how much folders will be printed in a results
• Fast

Releases available as single executable files – just download latest release for your platform, unpack and run.

Start on Windows - simple usage

diskusage.exe -path "c:/somedir"

if you want to get c:/somedir first level subfolders sizes

diskusage.exe -path "c:/somedir" -depth 2

if you want to get c:/somedir first & second level subfolders/files sizes

Start on Windows - advanced usage

diskusage.exe -path "c:/somedir" -limit 20 -fixunit "Gb" -depth 3 -sort "size_desc" -csv ""

if you want to get 20 biggest directories across c:/somedir with a three subfolder's levels depth. All results will be represented in Gb. Results will be saved to a default CSV-file.

where:

-path "c:/somedir"

is a folder name (required)

-limit 20

is how much biggest folders will be printed in the results (optional) if you set -limit to 0 it means limitless (no one row be cuted from results). Be warned it might be a huge list of files!

-fixunit "Gb"

you can choose unit style to representing folder sizes. It can be fixed or dynamic-scaled. You can use "fixunit" in case you want to compare sizes afterward (optional).

-depth 3

is depth of subfolders to analyze (optional)

-sort "size_desc"

sets sorting (order) of printed results (optional) It should be also "name_asc" like windows explorer default sorting

Exporting results to CSV file

-csv "./results/csv_1.csv"

use option -csv to define name of output csv-file with results. It is convenient to be used for automated analysis.

-csv ""

empty value of csv argument generate CSV-file with a default name to ./results folder

• if you do not use csv argument no csv file will be generated

Saving results to a file (redirecting console output to file)

For integration with a other systems I recommend create a batch file like this:

diskusage.exe -path "c:/somedir" > results.txt
