Hi

I have a 120 gig external hard drive which is of course displayed as 111 GB in Windows I don't know why but I know that is normal. Now the problem.

When I check the properties of my drive it says that 99 GB are used.
But when I click properties of all my folders including recycled, system volume information and _restore it tells me all those folders are 62 GB.

Why is that what can I do about it?

Thanks
