As to finding disk usage on Windows I found this
snippet on an MSDN forum:

there is any direct way in Windows to do that but WMI might
provide a way. Nevertheless this is not what you'd want to
Which is rather scary...
Not really, just written by someone who 1) had something else in
mind,
I just meant the fact that Microsoft didn't appear to provide
an API function to find it directly was scary - especially since
its something they report in Explorer as you noted earlier.
That being said, I've recently been buying 500GB hard
drives for $100.
The cost of disk space is frighteningly cheap.
I remember buying a Terabyte of storage for a mainframe
about 20 years ago and it cost over $2 million. Now I can
buy a Terabyte of NAS for $200!
That's why I've stopped worrying about lost space due to
block sizes! :-)
