Public Function analyzeTotalFilesSize(Path) As Integer
        Dim lookInDirectory As New DirectoryInfo(Path)

        For Each Directory As DirectoryInfo In lookInDirectory.GetDirectories
            analyzeTotalFilesSize(Directory.FullName)
        Next

        For Each File As FileInfo In lookInDirectory.GetFiles
            If _ListOfFiles.Exists(Function(x) x.ToString = File.Extension.ToLower) Then
                _SizeOfFilesToCopy += File.Length / 1024
            End If
        Next

        If _SizeOfFilesToCopy < 1024 Then
            errorhere -------->> Return _SizeOfFilesToCopy.ToString("#,##0.00") & "KB"
        ElseIf _SizeOfFilesToCopy > 1024 And _SizeOfFilesToCopy < 1048576 Then
            Return (_SizeOfFilesToCopy / 2014).ToString("#,##0.00") & "MB"
        Else
            Return (_SizeOfFilesToCopy / 1048576).ToString("#,##0.00") & "GB"
        End If
    End Function

You declared the function as Integer but you returning a string.
Change the function return type to String: Public Function analyzeTotalFilesSize(Path) As String
