java.io.File is my favorite utility which deals with lots of File related to functionalities. I started dealing with Java and File utils more and more in my initial coding days. It’s always fun to perform number of different operations using java.io.File.
In Java, you can use the File.length() method to get the file size in bytes.
Example:
- Create file CrunchifyFindFileFolderSize.java.
- Copy below code and save file.

Just run above program as a Java Application and you will see result as below:
