Assuming in MS DOS: But this doesn't exclude the sub folders and hidden files ;)

Try:

dir /a/s

Result in : Files for current directory and subdirectories wih their hidden files. And total size for all of them.

enter image description here

PS: Frankly, there's a GUI you can get the folder size and number of files within. Curious to know why you want to do so within DOS? ;)

This information is included in the output of the dir-command. In the line before the last output line is the number of files and the tortal size displayed.

Using the dir command, the total bytes is displayed in the next to the last line. You could use:

dir | findstr "File(s)"

To get only this information for the current directory. Or

dir path | findstr "File(s)"

to get total size in the given path, for example:

dir c:\windows | findstr "File(s)"
