You could also pipe it to Out-GridView for an expandable window.

This script doesn’t do anything. It instantly returns to the command prompt and nothing else is returned. Does it require a specific version of Powershell?
Thanks, JIm

Hi – There are several options so it doesn’t truncate. Any of the below will do.

– Output to csv
– Store the output as a variable
– Pipe the command to format-list

I’m using it for a home folder migration project in which we hope to reduce the amount of on-premise file storage allocated to users. It has been very helpful in finding the users who are the biggest hoarders.

I see the recursive mode that lists all the subfolders.
Is there a way to just list the first level of folders and not list all of the recursive folders but still have the total size and file count for each?
Meaning if I have a folder with 8 subfolders and each of those subfolders has subfolders, I only want output that lists the 8 folders–each of the eight rows with the aggregate number of files and size.
Thank you again!

I would like to ask, how I can convert this script to gather information from remote computers ?? for example, I want to get the size of the directories from multiple remote computers and display exact same output in html view?

I am so confused and my harddrive, Directories and Clouds are a total mess
I have OneDrive within OneDrive itself!!
If I get this cleaned up it may only happen all over again if I do not determine how this occurred.
I think I am going to need to search Folder Structure first because viewing all Folders and Files is confusing – too much info with having so many duplications
Do you help others automate? triggers notifications flows scripts ?
