Let’s start with the Mac because it’s easier to use. A weird and inexplicable omission, but don’t fret, there’s an easy way to calculate folder size for your situation anyway! This is a good shortcut because while you can change your MacOS X system to show folder sizes - and by that I mean the sum size of everything in that particular folder - turns out that Windows 10, at least, makes it impossible to change the File Browser to show you all the folder sizes without using a third-party utility. If the drive lacks space, the error message is usually of the form “Copying 1.2GB, insufficient space.” and if there is sufficient space on the drive, then it’ll show “Copying 1.2GB” or similar and you’ll again be able to see how big it is. There are actually a zillion different ways to solve this, however, one of which is to simply try to drag the folder onto a USB flash drive or similar. You didn’t say if you’re using a Mac or Windows system, so I’m going to show you how to calculate this figure for both operating systems.
