This plugin provides approximate disk usage by Moodle courses.
There are 2 known shortcomings with this plugin
- If the same file is used multiple times within a course, the report will report an inflated disk usage figure as the files will be counted each time even though Moodle only stores one copy of the file on disk.
- If the same file is used within multiple courses it will be counted in each course and there is no indicator within the report to inform the user if they delete the course or files within the course they will not free that amount from disk.
It should be possible to improve the report to address these issues - we'd greatly appreciate any patches to improve the plugin!
To improve the performance of the total disk usage check, you should configure the pathtodu in your installation:

Can I get some assistance in installing this plugin for Moodle 2.4. I looked through the README and tried the following, but do not see the coursesize report appearing anywhere:
1. uploaded 20170324-github.com-moodle-report_coursesize-master.zip to admin/report and unzipped content to folder "coursesize"
2. went to Site administration->Notifications but did not see any message relating to new plugin
3. checked under Site administration->Reports and Site administration->Courses but did not see any relevant links
3. checked under Site administration->Plugins->Plugins overview but did not see Coursesize plugin mentioned
I also tried the same steps above for the latest github version (https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-report_coursesize) and moodle.org linked version (https://moodle.org/plugins/report_coursesize).
I am in same boat of needed to clean up a very large moodledata directory, and wanted to see how much space courses may be taking up.
Thanks for any help.
Peace
Kindly advise if Course size plugin supports Moodle 3.1.3?
Best regards,
Anis
can you provide me a SQL Query for the Course size as i am working on some ad hoc reports to count Total Sizes by all Coursers(Including the Back up Size), Also Include the Category and Sub category in the reports.
1. This plugin shows 200 less courses that I have in total (show on the moodle registration page), what can explain this?
2. What does this mean "Courses that do not use any file storage have been excluded from this report." I can see 0MB courses on the list also.
Just ran the latest version and it reports the courses fine, but when I click 'view stats' each course shows 0MB for each category listed?
