Method filesystem.more.calculateDirectorySize

---

Overload

Calls filesystem.enumerate and returns the sum of all descendant file sizes. With default flags, it includes sizes of all descendant files, in this directory and all subdirectories except in inaccessible [sub]directories.

public static long calculateDirectorySize(string path, FEFlags flags = FEFlags.AllDescendants | FEFlags.IgnoreInaccessible)

Parameters

path  (string) Full path.

flags  (FEFlags) Enumerate flags.

Returns

long

Exceptions

Exception Exceptions of filesystem.enumerate. By default no exceptions if used full path and the directory exists.

Remarks

This function is slow if the directory is large. Don't use this function for files (throws exception) and drives (instead use System.IO.DriveInfo, it's fast and includes sizes of Recycle Bin and other protected hidden system directories).
