A simple command-line utility to scan all immediate subfolders of a given directory and list those whose total size exceeds 50 MB, sorted in descending order.
- Recursively computes the size of each subfolder (excluding symbolic links).
- Uses a thread pool (via
concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor) for parallel scanning. - Skips over files or directories that raise errors (permissions, race conditions, etc.).
- Prints progress in real time.
- Filters and displays only those folders whose size ≥ 50 MB.
- Cross-platform support: ensures UTF-8 console encoding on Windows.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Standard library only (no external dependencies)
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/KiriVoll/CheckFolderSize.git cd folder-size-scanner
- Run the script:
python CheckFolderSize.py
At the prompt, enter the absolute or relative path to the directory you want to scan.
Type exit and press Enter to quit.
