Know your Media Library disk usage with a simple PowerShell script

January 10, 2025 Rodrigo Peplau 0

Happy Friday, Sitecore Community! As we head into the weekend, I thought I’d share a handy PowerShell script I recently put together that helped me with a Content Hub license cost analysis. If you’re working on a similar project or want to understand how much disk space your Sitecore Media Library uses, this one’s for you!

I needed to calculate the total storage space used across multiple asset sources during my analysis. One of the most critical sources was the Sitecore Media Library, and after some googling, I quickly realized there wasn’t an easy way to calculate the total size directly from the CM server, without involving SQL queries or manual summations from reports. So, I built a simple and effective Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) script that gives you the total Media Library size in MB directly from the CM interface. No database access required!

The Script

Here’s the full PowerShell script that can be run in Sitecore PowerShell ISE:

Output Example:

Total Media Library Size: 1473.92 MB

I hope this little script helps you start the weekend with one less thing on your to-do list! If you give this script a try, please let me know how it worked for you.

And if you have improvements or tweaks, feel free to share them — after all, that’s what makes the Sitecore community so awesome!
