Use WRKLNK and then put a 2 next to the directory to edit it; this
also provides an option 6 to retrieve the size.

WRKLNK option 2 calls the EDTF command.

So, to save yourself a step, instead of typing:

WRKLNK '/mydir'

Type:

EDTF '/mydir'

It does the same thing, just saves a little bit of typing. (Since you don't have to pick option 2, you're already on the screen for option 6)

Another useful feature of EDTF (aside from 6=path size) is 9=recursive delete.
