Hi all,

Scratching my head here...

I have an SSD drive which my computer boots from and it also contains all programs.

On top of that I have a WD hard drive which is used to store music, documents, pictures and game.

My query is that my WD hard drive is showing that it has 399 GB free of 931 GB

BUT

the containing folders are a total of 221 GB. The hard drive should say something like.. 710 GB free of 931 GB

So why is the hard drive displaying that it is over DOUBLE what it actually contains?

Any help information will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Nick.

Thanks for the repy!

The program shows "$RECYCLE.BIN" has 42.6% - 190.4 GB of the drive!!

Could you explain this? The recycle bin was/is empty?!

Thanks.

Nick.
