  1. User folder records 98Gb but is empty when opened


    I have a folder on my HP Pavilion Laptop C:/User/Rondu/Apple that is taking up 98GB of memory. As the screenshot shows this folder comes up as empty when I open it. Could this be to do with backups of my iPhone and is there anyway to reduce this usage? Regards, RonD

    Voice recording will not open

    I opened Voice Recorder Aug 1, 2022 and made a recording. I saved it. It is in my Documents folder. I need to open this folder and listen to recording. When I try to open it I am sent to tab detailing 'recording steps', which lists all keystrokes made on laptop. What happened to the voice recording??? It asks me what app to open it in. I did not make recording in an app. What do I have to do to listen to the recording. And I need to be able to email it to someone.

    User folder records 98Gb but is empty when opened

    Unable to access Zip folder created by "Steps Recorder" in Windows 10

    Thank you for the reply.

    I already have "hidden files" checked.

    - - - Updated - - -

    To clarify :
    1) Attempting to open file by clicking on it in the "Recent files" list I get the following:

    2) Unable to find file where it is supposed to be located based on the "File location" path:

    3) What I get when attempting to look at "Security" tab:
