    When I display the folders under the Documents folder that look like this

    Is there a limit to the number of sub-folders File Explorer will display fc6ac4f6-4e77-4c81-9905-5a92743cc7e5?upload=true.jpg

    The sub-folder named PRIORITY TASKS isn't shown. Does File Explorer impose a limit on the number of sub-folder that it will display?

    folder should display with size in bytes and numbers of Items and numbers of files inside it.

    In Windows try to display Folder with size in bytes and numbers of Items and numbers of files inside it. So that we can know which folder is contain more bytes. Even sub folder also display size, items and files numbers. It will be easy to find folders
    and files to delete which are big in size.
