Hi,
Many thanks for the script, i was evaluating / testing it out and it would seem when I took the approach of supplying an input file and including the parameter TestSubfolders e..g

Get-FolderAge -inputfile "C:\Temp\FolderList.txt" -outputfile "C:\temp\FolderOutput.csv" -TestSubFolders

it only evaluates that folder and the child folder one level deep not all child folders, i.e it missed folders.

I think you need to add the -recurse on this line and that will fix it
$FolderList = @(Get-ChildItem $FolderEntry -recurse -Directory -ea SilentlyContinue | Select -Expand FullName)

i am not a powershell expert but the above seemed to fix it.

Technically you could generate the input file with all the subfolder names, so possibly this is not even bug. I just assumed adding in some top level folders into the input file would also do the sub folders/ children. I like the approach of using an input file so i can batch the process by doing x folders at a time. Possibly an update to the explanation of testsubfolders is needed to explain what it does / does not do.

Appreciate this was last looked at 4 years ago, but if someone else happens to read this it maybe of use, rather than folders get missed.
