If I browse to them with Windows Explorer the folders appear empty (yes, hidden/system files are turned on), but it's via the wonderful TreeSize that I've spotted the files/folders are there, and TreeSize will delete them. These folders can have hundreds of MBs of files in. Get-DirectoryTreeSize -Path C:\Temp -Recurse Sort-Object FolderSizeInMB -Descending will quickly get the largest folder in your query. Efficient Disk Space Reporting Scan your volumes in seconds and see the size of all folders including all subfolders and break it down to file level. TreeSize Free is compatible with any edition of Windows starting with Windows 8 / Server 2012 (32-bit and 64-bit). AllItemsAndAllFolders will get all files, all folders and the total size for the specified directory and all subdirectories. Use TreeSize Free to keep an eye on your disk space. To avoid long subfolder strings, subfolders will display. Whether this is related or not, as we migrated file servers last summer, I've spotted a $RECYCLE.BIN folder in many if not all of the students home folders. Recurse shows files, folders and sizes for each directory respectively. We then used group policy to turn off the recycle bin usage, and to delete files immediately. The students local recycle bins weren't showing anything though, so this was ultimately pointless. We spotted that when students were deleting files/folders, on their Win 7 clients, that the files/folders were going into the file server's recycle bin. It displays the complete tree of files and folders along with the size in MB, KB for each file or folder.We are running a 2008 R2 file server, on which are the students home folders. The Third one is the most useful when the ‘-showfiles’ option is used. Using the Format-Custom once see the size listed in the MB. The first example “ Get-TreeSize -Path C:\Temp” is not really very helpful and just shows the name of the directories and subdirectories with the size in bytes. Im sure there are other tools on the market but actually, only TreeSize never failed.


Once it is installed one can use the cmdlet – “ Get-Command -module Treesize” to view the available commands in that package.
