I wanted to take out a very simple report on the largest sub folders in terms of size, for a profile area on a client site. We have tools to do this, but scripting it was in this case a very quick and dirty way to get the job done.
This script is reusable on all folders. It will enumerate the size of the content of all sub folders on the folder on which you run it, measured in megabytes.
