Is there a way to display size of a folder?
Click the View tab at the top and choose Details. This will show file size information.

Right-click folder > Properties to see the size.
Hover over the folder in File Explorer to check its size.
Use tools like TreeSize Free for detailed folder sizes. - XiounCopper Contributor
Using PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell as an administrator.
- Navigate to the folder you want to check using the cd command (for example, cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents).
- Run the command Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum to display the total size of all files in the current folder and its subfolders.

Most Linux desktop environments provide a file manager (like Nautilus for GNOME).

You can use Finder:
- Open Finder and go to the folder you want to check.
- Right-click (or Control-click) the folder and select Get Info.
- A window will appear, and you can see the folder size under "General".

Windows File Explorer doesn't show folder sizes directly in the interface, but here are some ways to check:
- Hover Over the Folder: Place your mouse pointer over the folder, and a tooltip will display its size.
- Use Properties: Right-click the folder, select Properties, and the size will be shown in the popup window.
- Third-Party Tools: If you need detailed and batch size views, consider tools like TreeSize Free or WinDirStat.
These methods let you quickly check folder sizes when needed.

I think you can adjust the size via the settings.
