how do i display the total number of images ?

how can i show the result of total number of images that i have uploaded into matlab using loop?

a = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\1\image1.jpg');
b = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\1\image2.jpg');
c = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\1\image3.jpg');
d = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\2\image4.jpg');
e = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\2\image5.jpg');
f = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\2\image6.jpg');
g = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\3\image7.jpg');
h = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\3\image8.jpg');
i = imread('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\3\image9.jpg');

how can i show total number of images using loop method as they are in different folders.

dinfo = dir('C:\Users\makov\Desktop\*\image*.jpg');
filenames = fullfile({dinfo.folder}, {dinfo.name});
numfiles = length(filenames);
rgbimages = cell(numfiles, 1);
for K = 1 : numfiles
    rgbimages{K} = imread(filenames{K});
end

Number of files loaded is numfiles
