  1. Can Windows display aggregate size of deleted files?


    This is not a serious problem, but it has always bugged me: I can't find a way to display the aggregate size of a group of files that I propose to delete from the recycle bin.


    Windows 7 would at least display the aggregate size of files when I deleted them, if it was enough to display a progress dialog. Windows 10 doesn't even do that: it just displays the number of files, which is of no interest.


    As I recall, Windows 7 would display the aggregate size of several selected files in the Properties dialog, except that it didn't work in the recycle bin. In Windows 10 the Properties dialog appears in the context menu, but if multiple files are selected it won't open.


    Can Windows 10 do either of these things?

    :)

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?

    BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

    I am wondering how to make a bat file that can delete all files below a certain size (in this case 10kb). I have a folder on my server that has game screenshots in it (taken by Punkbuster) and need to sort out the good shots from the bad, and figure this is easier than manually deleting thousands of files.. The "bad" shots (blanks with failed renders) range in size from 4kb-8kb, so the bat file can delete anything lower than 10kb with no issues. Is this possible, and if so how do I make one? Thanks for your help.


    *EDIT*
    I have found a bat file that can delete specific types/sizes, but it only allows you to delete file sizes of 0kb (empty text documents and such), and replacing the "0" with "10" or any other number hasn't worked for me so far.
