    Properties of Onedrive folder shows incorrect size


    My onedrive folder 91gb. I completely synced it on disk D. When I try to check size of onedrive folder - it shows only 37gb! Hovewer, used space on disk D is 91gb.

    How can I be sure that onedrive works well and all of my files on my disk?


    Thanks

    Change in folder size after enabling Bitlocker

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand you concern related to the size of the folder displayed. Try these steps to narrow down the issue:

    1. Disable bitlocker
      and then check the folder size.
    2. We would also suggest you to open the folder and select all files and see the size of the contents.

    Let us know if the size of the contents matches the folder size. If you see a difference, then the folder might be showing incorrect size.

    Kindly reply us with the requested information to assist you better.



    Awaiting for your response.

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Properties of Onedrive folder shows incorrect size

    Folder size incorrect (only my music folder) when right clicking properties!

    Using Windows 10 (version 1803). This is only to just one folder I keep my music in it mp3, flac, etc.)

    size incorrect when right clicking properties. Then open folder select all subfolders in that folder

    and the total size is bigger by at least 75% than main folder. I update windows today July 26, 2018.
