Here is a link to the original AIDA32 system information utility. This program is no longer supported. The new program Everest, has a FREE home version that will not work if you are connected to a network domain. I still use AIDA32. Great utility that also works standalone on a USB stick.

This utility accounts for the girth of your burgeoning data, helping you figure out where it could use a nip or a tuck. Open the program from a context menu of a folder or drive to learn the size of the folder and all its subfolders. You can watch the results appear before your eyes. The wasted space can be written up in a printable report, giving you some idea of a pattern for the necessary alterations. This version is FREE. I have been using the Pro version for years tracking wasted space on my hard drive. Download it [here]

According to a post on TechTarget Expert Answer Center:
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
1024 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte – that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes
