Have a look at the File class documentation. This is one of the new features in 1.6.

These new methods also include:

  • public long getTotalSpace()
  • public long getFreeSpace()
  • public long getUsableSpace()

If you're still using 1.5 then you can use the Apache Commons IO library and its FileSystem class
