SOLVED: Simple PowerShell Command to List Size of Each Users Recycle Bin & Total

Do you need to create a list table showing the size of each user’s recycle bin and then a total of all the disk space used on Recycle Bins? Well if so, this is the article for you!

PowerShell Listing The Size of Each Users Recycle Bin in a Table

$totalSize = 0
Get-ChildItem 'C:\Users\' -Directory | ForEach-Object {
    $user = $_.Name
    $size = [math]::Round((Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -File -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum / 1GB, 2)
    $totalSize += $size
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        User = $user
        SizeGB = $size
    }
}

PowerShell Adding Up The Total Size Of All Recycle Bins

..and if you need a total for all users Recycle Bins, you can either tack this on the end of the PowerShell script above, or you can run it separately after:

[PSCustomObject]@{
    User = "Total"
    SizeGB = 
[math]::Round($totalSize, 2)
}
