Hello,

Here is my porblem I have a server that has had a dramatic increase in used
sapce in 2 days. I belive that someone mistaking ly copied somthing to the
server. Is there an easy way for me to find the size of the directories
including subs. We are an engineering consulting firm and we file things by
job so the directory structure can get pretty deep. I searched and couldn't
find anything that would allow me to do this.

Thanks
 
I like Folder Size from http://space.dolphin.free.fr/
Right clicking on a directory (or drive) and selecting Properties, there is an extra
property page tab called Size. It calculates the size of all directories and subdirectories
and displays them as a tree. Each directory has the size of that directory, including
subdirectories. Expanding shows size of subs as you go. Configurable to show as bytes,
KB, MB, GB, and in English or French. Sorts by size ascending or descending, allocation size,
and a few other options like saving as a file.
I've used it for a long time.
