After running a website for a long time, the server space may be heavily used. Perhaps you want to know how much hard disk space the images on your server occupy. What should you do?
On a Windows computer, you can right-click on the folder, select Properties, and view the folder size.
On a Linux system, you can also use the du command to view the folder size, for example, the following command:
Display the disk usage of a directory tree and each of its subtrees in MB.
du -m /home/linux
This shows the MB disk blocks in the /home/linux directory and each of its subdirectories.
But what if I only want to know the total capacity of uploaded image files on the website server, and how much each image format occupies? Is there a simple and quick method?
Of course there is.
Introduction to WP Media Assistant

This type of plugin is typically for one-time use. Install it when you need to run statistics, and uninstall it when you don't, so there's no need to worry about it occupying system resources.
