Browse to the folder containing the files you want to count. Highlight one of the files in that folder and press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A to highlight all files and folders in that folder. In the Explorer status bar, you'll see how many files and folders are highlighted, as shown in the picture below.
Use File Explorer Open the folder and select all the subfolders or files either manually or by pressing CTRL+A shortcut. If you choose manually, you can select and omit particular files. You can now see the total count near the left bottom of the window. Repeat the same for the files inside a folder and subfolder too.
find . -type f | wc -l will recursively list all the files (-type f restricts to only files) in the current directory (replace . with your path). The output of this is piped into wc -l which will count the number of lines.

Find all files under myfolder and count them using wc. This works on linux:
