Windows 10: My External SSD has decreased its storage capacity.

Two years ago, I purchased an external solid-state drive with 16 TB storage capacity. One day, I tried to update my driver through Device Manager, but it converted into a ChipsBnk Flash Reader USB Device and decreased the storage capacity to just 55.6 GB. I cannot find any other driver to change the storage size back. Can anyone tell me how to undo the major mess I made? Thank you. Here is the drive below.Any assistance would be appreciated.Sincerely,Jay Burch

File History : Why did external drive capacity decrease after cleaning up old files?

I decided to clean up my external drive (E) used for File History storage. I also excluded two folders to no longer be backed up/copied by File History. My external drive was down to 26 GB. I executed a clean up to "Remove" files older than 6 months.
I was told I had no files older than 6 months. I thought that was odd because I know of folders and files in those folders that date back to 2016. So I reset to 3 months. That operated but the capacity, "Free Space" on my external drive decreased to 6 GB.
I thought I was cleaning the External storage. What is going on?

 

Battery full charge capacity decreased?





As you can probably see from the above image, my battery's full charge capacity has been decreased. Even though I just bought this laptop like 3 months ago, the laptops full charge capacity has been decreased by a huge amount like 5000mWh. I don't know what is causing this I have three questions...

i) What causes a battery to lose its Full Charge Capacity?

ii) Can a full charge capacity be increased (reversed) by using it the right way again?

iii) How can I save my battery from losing it's full charge capacity? Will using it plugged into the charger help it not get decreased?

 

Understanding Storage Spaces capacity descriptions

I have a Storage Spaces array in Windows 10 consisting of 7 SATA HDDs ranging from 3TB -> 8TB each (-edit- for completeness, those drive capacities are: {3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8}).

I'm trying to understand the Storage Spaces capacity values, shown below:





The section above the drive Name & Letter makes sense in isolation:

• 15 TB
  
  • defined size, with thin provisioning allowing it to exceed actual
    available capacity
    
• Using 14.6 TB pool capacity
  
  • the actual available configured capacity
    

And the 31.8 TB "Total pool capacity" makes complete sense as the sum of the actual disk capacity from each drive.

But...

1. Why is only 14.6 available?
   
   • I've defined my size as 15 TB
     
   • It says I have 17.2 TB available
     
2. What's the relationship here of the 22.5 TB "Including resiliency"?
   
3. What is my actual real max configurable usable capacity?
   
   • I expected to have around 20 TB (66% of 32) - so I'm guessing it's actually only 17.2, but then see question #1
