Incorrect Free Disk Space Reported After Partition Resize
Hello Gang,
One of my drives was running low on space, so I moved files from another partition to the right, to a different drive and deleted the partition. I then resized the drive low on space to fill the new 20GB that I had just cleared. This was fine and no errrors were reported. However, after a restart a while later I noticed that both disk management and explorer reported I had 5GB free on the drive, even though it should have been roughly 21GB.
If I open explorer and select all folders on that drive and look at the properties, it shows 29.6GB of data. The drive has a capacity of 60GB, and shows only 5.71GB free. This makes no sense at all.
Please see the image attached.
Is there some kind of counter in the registry that maintains these numbers?
Thanks,
Paul
