Folder size

View menu > Show Status Bar

Hey there Herb,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. For the best steps that can help with changing the icon size in folders in the Finder app, check out this link here: Change view options in the Finder on Mac - Apple Support

1. On your Mac, click the Finder icon  in the Dock to open a Finder window.

2. Select the folder you want to change, then click a View button: Icon, List, Column, or Gallery.

3. Choose View > Show View Options, then set the options you want. 

Select Icon view options: Change the icon size, grid spacing, text size, and more.

4. To use these settings for all Finder folders that use this view, click Use as Defaults. The Use as Defaults button does not appear for Columns view.

For example, if you set options for Icon view, then click Use as Defaults, all folders that use Icon view appear with the same options. 

To always show the Library folder, choose Go > Home to open the home folder, choose View > Show View Options, then select the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Let us know if that's able to help.

Take care!
