(Windows 11. XPS 8930)

How to know which lowest-level folder in the directory tree of folders is consuming the most space?

When I select a drive and view Properties, I see that I have only 20Gb free space on my C: SSD 250Gb disk.

My User folder takes up 76 Gb out of 225Gb

But I cannot select every folder in the directory tree and select properties to find how much space it takes.

Yes, I have run the Windows utility "Disk Cleanup" and recovered about 1 Gb.

Is there an easier way to do this?

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    This is an option that has never been implemented in Windows File Explorer, they have never added the option to see a list or details view showing folder sizes, most people use the free TreeSize utility that is available on the Microsoft Store to view folder sizes.
