You have to use a recursive method that calculate the size of each file from the current folder and invoke the same method for each subfolder.

In this method to find the sub-items of the current folder you should use Directory.GetDirectories() method, and to find the size of a file you can use FileInfo class (both classes are from System.IO namespace).

Use this method to get all file names: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143316%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

You don't need to use recursion by yourself; this method allows you to get all files in the directory. Use SearchOption.AllDirectories:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143448%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

The size you need will be the sum of the sizes of all files. This is how you can get the size for each file:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.fileinfo.length%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.IO.FileInfo%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].
