Copying files to my external drive, files totally different sizes, WHY

I have to send my nearly new hp all in one computer in for repairs so I am copying all of my personal files to my Seagate external hard drive. I am using Windows 10 with all latest updates. I am using File Explorer copy/paste function and it takes a couple
hours to complete. After it completes and I use properties to look at the size and number of files and folders, they are totally different. Yet when I go through each folder I can't find anything different, nothing seems to be missing.

The D: drive shows a size 29.9 GB, 9,243 Files and 1,308 Folders

Seagate copy shows a size 13.5 GB, 5,220 Files and 428 Folders

Any ideas why the difference? Am I at risk of losing my data if I erase the D: drive?

 

Change size of drives

Is it possible to increase the size of C: drive and reduce size of D: drive? I'm receiving the red bar warning about C: drive being full and have plenty of room in D: drive. I have done the disk cleanup but still receiving the warning, apparently it
didn't clear out enough stuff. Or is it possible to make D: drive the default drive for downloads? Any suggestions welcomed.
