Reformatted portable HD has large used space
Just reformatted a (nominal) 250GB pocket HDD (NTFS) to wipe all data.
After formatting the used space is 97MB (without any intentional data on the drive)
Hidden "$RECYCLE.BIN" = 4KB
Hidden "System Volume Information":= 0 bytes
Why is there so much used space?
Is "$RECYCLE.BIN" auto resized during use.
Thank you :)
