But some time it becomes annoying or irritating for users. Here is a solution for this. Just right click on its icon from Task-Bar and unchecked the option for \u201cShow folder Size popups&#8221;. So now no pop up will appear. Or you can also unchecked the option of \u201cStart on Windows startup&#8221;. This will prevent the Folder Size not to start on Windows startup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23086 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/4-18.png?resize=272%2C131&amp;ssl=1\" width=\"228\" height=\"110\" data-orig-width=\"272\" data-orig-height=\"131\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So this is one utility to check size of folder. Below are some more utilities for the same purpose.<\/p>\n<h3>TreeSize<\/h3>\n<p>TreeSize is another utility program that helps you in making your disk space clear by telling you the size of folder so you can delete some extra files from that large size folder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/treesize-free.en.lo4d.com\/\">Download TreeSize<\/a><\/p>\n<p>it is free software for your windows. Download its exe file and after downloading click on \u201cscan&#8221; from menu and choose the drive you want to check for its size.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23087 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/5-12.png?resize=619%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/5-12.png?resize=619%2C500&amp;ssl=1 619w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/5-12.png?resize=300%2C242&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/5-12.png?w=760&amp;ssl=1 760w\" width=\"520\" height=\"420\" data-orig-width=\"619\" data-orig-height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then after selecting any required drive, it will show you all folders of that drive and their size will also be displayed. You can sort them according to size. So first folder will be in list with larger size and then so on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23088 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/6-13.png?resize=670%2C497&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/6-13.png?resize=670%2C497&amp;ssl=1 670w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/6-13.png?resize=300%2C223&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/6-13.png?w=741&amp;ssl=1 741w\" width=\"563\" height=\"418\" data-orig-width=\"670\" data-orig-height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can expand each folder to see the size of its sub folders too. So this is how you can easily check the folder size of any of your folder and make your disk clean by removing some large and unimportant folders. This will also allow you to scan the folders which are present in any external source that is CD, DVD or USB.<\/p>\n<h3>Disktective<\/h3>\n<p>This is another free utility to check the folders size of your system\u2019s folders. This is easy and portable. Its interface is user friendly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.disktective.com\/download\/\">Download Disktective from here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you install it, it will ask you to which drive you want to scan.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23089 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/7-10.png?resize=670%2C411&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/7-10.png?resize=670%2C411&amp;ssl=1 670w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/7-10.png?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/7-10.png?resize=768%2C471&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/7-10.png?w=872&amp;ssl=1 872w\" width=\"563\" height=\"345\" data-orig-width=\"670\" data-orig-height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then after a quick scan it\u2019ll provide you the complete size of each folder in that drives you selected for scan. And a pie chart will also be displayed for quick look of your folders size. This will also allow you to scan the folders which are present in any external source that is CD, DVD or USB.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23090 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/8-10.png?resize=670%2C429&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/8-10.png?resize=670%2C429&amp;ssl=1 670w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/8-10.png?resize=300%2C192&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/8-10.png?resize=768%2C491&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itechtics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/8-10.png?w=874&amp;ssl=1 874w\" width=\"563\" height=\"360\" data-orig-width=\"670\" data-orig-height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Above all are reliable and easy software for checking the size of folders from your system so that you can clear the space of your drive by removing some extra folders which are taking large space in your systems. You can go for any of them which you find best for you.<\/p>\n<p>Folder Size is the only option available for users who want to show the folder size inside Windows Explorer. All other options have their dedicated software for analyzing the size of each folder. So I would definitely go with Folder Size as my default utility.
