Using PowerShell to Calculate Folder Size from Command Line

While the cmd command dir /s <folder> can also calculate size, it outputs too much unnecessary information. Filtering is possible, but using dir /s <folder> | find 'string' is not very universal. The English and Chinese outputs differ across Windows 7, 10, 11, and server versions, leading to poor compatibility. Therefore, I turn to PowerShell for a more convenient and concise solution!
