      find size of all files of folder and add them. It gives you folder size.

        Are you wanting the size of the folder itself, or the size of all files in the folder?

            Since it's just an entry in the FAT or MFT, I can only assume it's the size of an allocation unit (e.g., 4KB). Although on an NTFS volume, folder names just might be "resident data" in the MFT itself and not consume any clusters.
