   Thanks again I got it working! I understood my  mistake, I had one extra   
   subfolder between pictures and C: drive. These "move" and %~z are quite picky   
   functions. Meanwhile I found one script from Stackoverflow by XFlak who claims   
   that it gets file size    
   from every directory (external etc.). Script added below:   
   set file=C:\Users\Admin\Documents\test.jpg   
   set /a filesize=   
   set fileExclPath=%file:*\=%   
      
   :onemoretime   
   set fileExclPath2=%fileExclPath:*\=%   
   set fileExclPath=%fileExclPath2:*\=%   
   if /i "%fileExclPath%" NEQ "%fileExclPath2%" goto:onemoretime   
      
   dir /s /a-d "%workingdir%">"%temp%\temp.txt"   
   findstr /C:"%fileExclPath%" "%temp%\temp.txt" >"%temp%\temp2.txt"   
      
   set /p filesize= <"%temp%\temp2.txt"   
      
   echo set filesize=%%filesize: %fileExclPath%%ext%=%% >"%temp%\temp.bat"   
   call "%temp%\temp.bat"   
      
   :RemoveTrailingSpace   
   if /i "%filesize:~-1%" EQU " " set filesize=%filesize:~0,-1%   
   if /i "%filesize:~-1%" EQU " " goto:RemoveTrailingSpace   
      
   :onemoretime2   
   set filesize2=%filesize:* =%   
   set filesize=%filesize2:* =%   
   if /i "%filesize%" NEQ "%filesize2%" goto:onemoretime2   
      
   set filesize=%filesize:,=%   
   echo %filesize% bytes   
      
   SET /a filesizeMB=%filesize%/1024/1024   
   echo %filesizeMB% MB   
      
   SET /a filesizeGB=%filesize%/1024/1024/1024   
   echo %filesizeGB% GB
