[WIN] drive space used != total file space used; whynot?
On Win98 2nd ed, if I right-click on all top-level directories/folders on a
drive, select "properties", and record the number of bytes USED for each
directory(not just the sum of the size of the files in them), and then sum
all directories, and then do the same "properties" query for the DRIVE
itself, the sums for all directories does NOT equal the "used space" in
bytes for the drive. Can anyone tell me why?
I was making a utility to show all directories in descending order of space
used on the drive for each, and it finally works, except the sum of the
(correctly reported) sizes of all the directories doesn't equal the
"properties" reported size of the drive itself.
