Windows 10: Difference with Used Size Calculations

Hi,

I have been doing a little 'house keeping' and I noticed something a little odd. When I look at the properties of my D drive under 'This PC', it shows that the used space is 1.13TB (1,157GB). However, when I open the drive, sellect all items (all folders and files) and look at the properties, I only get a figure of 863GB. Why would this be? I have all files/folders viewable ('Show hidden files, folders or drives').
