I have <1,000 and total over 2.3 GB of space. Can you open the files? Try and copy them to a USB stick and see what shows.

I know the norm is that the "size on disk" would be a bit bigger than "size" due to file system, cluster size etc.. but in this case its the reverse, and by A LOT, and NO, compression is not enabled The directory 112 Gb, and contains 20,029 files and 414 folders, now size on disk only reports 26.3 MB (27,607,040 bytes) thats MEGS, NOT GIGS Is this something to be alarmed with?
