Default Peculiar - Disk Size difference


I got a peculiar issue




have a look at the size difference between, Used Space in C: properties i.e. 56.5GB and space used by all the files and folders in the root of C: with all the files visible i.e. 59.2 and 54.4 GB depending what u r comparing, is 2.7GB and -2.1GB Respectively

I thinks my PC is on booz

Any Explanations Einsteins

In the binary or base-2 system used by the operating system, 1 gigabyte
(GB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes.

Do the maths, am pretty weak there

Dude Don't you think PC will be using base-2 system at both places
i.e in Disk properties as well as folders properties
