Is there a command to find the size of all files (together) in a directory ?

The responses so far have all been using command line methods.
In Kde, using Konqueror, right click on the directory and it will show
the total size in both MB and bytes.

For a lot of things manipulating directories I use Kde. There are
problems moving directories with command lines (probably because I never
looked up the options to do it right) - mv will not create new
directories at the new location by default. rm and rmdir have problems
when there are hundreds of files to delete. And Konqueror does all of
these without blinking.
