Get total size of LocalFolder Windows Phone 8.1

In my app i am using LocalStorage. I have saved photos to localfolder. I want total used memory size of localfolder. 

BasicProperties BP = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetBasicPropertiesAsync();
var size = BP.Size;
Debug.WriteLine("size = {0}", size);

I am using this code but every time I am getting

size = 0

I have looked at this Answer but i don't think its proper way to get total total size of localfolder i don't want to use for loop because there will be hundreds of file in my localfolder.

You have to walk through folders to calculate the size of files inside

public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task<long> GetFolderSize(Windows.Storage.StorageFolder folder)
{
    long size = 0;
    // For files
    foreach (Windows.Storage.StorageFile thisFile in await folder.GetFilesAsync())
    {
        Windows.Storage.FileProperties.BasicProperties props = await thisFile.GetBasicPropertiesAsync();
        size += props.Size;
    }
    // For folders
    foreach (Windows.Storage.StorageFolder thisFolder in await folder.GetFoldersAsync())
    {
       size += await GetFolderSize(thisFolder);
    }
    return size;
}
