Report the disk space usage for a directory. By default DU will recurse to show the total size of a directory and its subdirectories.
Syntax
DU [-c[t]] [-l levels | -n | -v] [-u] [-q] [Directory]
Options
-c Print output as CSV.
-ct Print output with tab delimiting.
-l Specify subdirectory depth of information (default is all levels).
-n Do not recurse.
-v Show size (in KB) of intermediate directories.
-u Count each instance of a hardlinked file.
-q Quiet (no banner).
When installing du.exe just ensure it is placed somewhere in either the system PATH or in the current directory.
List the files in E:\work and subfolders in verbose mode:
C:\demo\> DU -v E:\work
