Sorting by Folder size?

Post by Pre »

Can any version of Everything sort by Folder sizes?

Is there an option to allow it sort by Folder size just as it can sort File size?

This comes really handy when disk is full and trying to delete large unused files hidden in folders which are not sorted by size.

I can alway sort by File sizes but not Folder sizes, for that i have to use a totally different app.

folder:, then just sort by size.

Now the sizes give for a folder are cumulative (for a particular tree).
So,
c:/my documents/ might show 1 GB
c:/my documents/lawsuits/ might show 1 KB
c:/my documents/music/ might show 900 KB
c:/my documents/music/rap/ might show 1 KB
c:/my documents/music/rock/ might show 899 KB


You'll want to enable: Tools | Options | Indexes -> Index folder size
