May be a terminology problem here:

The storage capacity will remain the same. However, there will be a change in the used and available space values.

When you delete files the available space should increase.

Suggest that you back up your data as quickly as possible and then run the applicable manufacturer's diagnostics on the drive. See what, if anything, is found.

Hi there Yam15,

I would agree with Ralston18. It may be a good idea to provide some more information on the topic. Some screenshots would be of help as well.

Have you tried to empty the recycle bin?
Testing the drive might be a good idea as well.

Also, keep in mind that you should always leave some free storage space on your drive.

Cheers,
D_Know_WD :)
