less theoretical amount of D capacity than actual !

my system is newly formatted ... i kept a back up in D - if this info helps you - .

the amount of free space in D drive is theoretically less than actually !

in the left pic , the used space in 42 GB ....
in the right pic , it writes that 111 GB free of 232 GB which means 121 is used .
the two pics show infos that are in contrast !

The photo on the left only shows the properties of the Doc folder, not the entire partition.

Make sure you have hidden files visible on explorer options. The difference may be due to those files being stored somewhere.
Often Windows creates the hidden folder "system volume information" that contains the system restore data, which can take quite a big amount of space.

no, it shows all
because i manually calculated it gave 34 GB .. plus 7 GB in the briefcase = 40
the briefcase wont its size by just passing over , going inside reveals

that is what i dont know , if the hidden files are not included in this simple way of calculation .... you may be right

Also if you have any system images on there they will report as 0 bytes when they are infact many GBs, just a thought

may be , but the system is formatted 24 Hrs back !
maybe when i asked the repair man to backup my data , there might be system images involved in what he backedup ...
