    Folder size in disk properties and folder properties


    I've just moved data from three HDs to one 8Tb hard drive. Everything is there, but the folder size reporting is weird, just weird. See attached...single top level folder is reported as 465Gb - folders within that are larger are reported as such (see pic 5 of 5 in the zip). I am able to see all the relevant folders, but am concerned that something is out of whack, and worried therefore that whatever might be a problem is perpetuated in the regular backup I do.

    See attached for details.

    Jeremy,

    Windows often gives ridiculous folder size info. Use Treesize [free] for any checks that matter.

    By the way, you can put diagrams in your posts in this forum. There is no need to attach a zip file. Many people regard attached zip files with suspicion and will not open them; I am one of those people.

    Folder sizes


    Thanks. Well, I've been using Windows since 3.1 and haven't seen that before! Treesize shows it fine, and individual lower level folders, two of which are much larger, show fine. As long as nothing is damaged that's fine. Thanks. Will upload individual files in future!
