Hello Alan, Thank you for the reply.
I have actually fixed that bug. If you are bored or for some other reason would like to assist a newbro my code is here: main: http://pastebin.com/LgbeywiB functions: http://pastebin.com/vU7zzJKe I'd be very grateful for any feedback on improvements to the code or how I am coding in general. I'd be particularly interested in a better data structure to use to store the directories and their sizes.
