3.) ... What should I watch out for when it comes to folder size on MS Windows OS?



Folder Size in Status or in File Explorer Columns is very popular and willingly used by all File Explorer users in MS Windows OS. Of course it takes time to determine the folder size, but it is very practical. With the latest SSD drives, however, it is not so important. And the cost-benefit factor is relatively good when determining the folder size under MS Windows. The immediate recognition of the folder size is just very beneficial!
