  1. The used size of a hard disk that contains only one folder doesn't mat


    The used size of a hard disk that contains only one folder doesn't match exactly the size of the folder,

    In the screenshot below, despite the fact that the HD 1 contains only one folder, however, its used space (1.53 TB) doesn’t match exactly the size of the folder (15.4TB).

    what could be the issue here?

  2. Microsoft should display folder size in bytes and number of items it contain

    Microsoft should display folder size in bytes and number of items it contain. Even when we go inside the folder, the sub-folder should also display size in bytes and number of items it contain. It will help us to find which folder have more bytes and files
    so that we can delete it to save the space in hard disk.

  3. MATS

    Hello RafnGuðmundsson

    Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Community, My name is Miguel T. I'm an independent Advisor

    That´s depend on the origin of that folder.

    MATS folder occasionally is created by easyfix program or a recovery issues program.

    before delete it, as suggestion you can rename that folder to check if some issue comes up.

    If nothing comes show up, you are free to delete it.

    I hope this information has been useful, please let me know if you still need assistance.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.


    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
