This function checks free disk space. But why would you want to do that? NSIS doesn't let the user install if there isn't enough disk space on the directory page.
I found this useful because I'm writing a massive uninstaller and I want to calculate the amount of free space before and after my uninstaller runs to show the user how much space they got back, I hope it works.
This could be useful when the user is going to install to a different drive other than C: because then it will check the disk space say on the D: drive but will not check the C: drive space and you still need temporary space on the C: drive to extract the files to do the install so if your C: drive was totally full you could not do the install to E: even though it would appear you had enough space.
Also what could happen is say the user installs to the D: drive but there are dll's installing to the C: drive. The installer calculates the space of all the files being installed to drive D: instead of calculating how much space is required on each drive
