#Why is my windows folder so big software

This is the error it gives me:ДЄnybody familiar with this software who can help me? I'm sure there is a little thingie that you can do to let it just work with whole drives.When you find that your c drive is in low disk space, you will go to examine the size of theВ C:/ Windows folder and then you may find the WinSxS folder use a lot of space. I made sure to run the program as an admin, but the weird thing that happens when I do this is that share drives will NOT even appear in the drop-down list even though they appeared when I ran the program as a normal user.

If I select folders within them it will work!!! For some reason this gui doesn't see network drives or maybe even drives. Robocopy source: destination: /copyall or something of this sort and it will just start copying. The good old robocopy can do it since you can just type: It is only when I select whole letter drives it doesn't work for some reason. I'm trying to use the Cinchoo Eazењњopy software, which is a very nice GUI for robocopy to copy a shared network drive to another shared network drive but it won't just happen. Me: I know that but I'm talking about gigabytes of difference. Him: Small differences in size can be attributed to different reasons like cluster size and such. Me: That's what I did and it gave me a lower size for the destination. Him: That's easy, just go check the size of source and destination. Me: I have a feeling not all files were copied it. Him: Come on man, it is just a simple copy and paste. Me: I'm not sure if they were copied correctly

He gives it to you and next morning he asks: You copied the files? So you want to copy some work files from a friend using a flash drive. There is a size when hover over it by using the mouse, a different size when I select properties for the same folder, and lastly a third different size when I select all contents and select properties ! And it is not like the size difference is only marginal, It is actually so big it will leave you puzzled and not knowing if you actually copied what you really wanted to copy. You will see that I get 3 different sizes for one folder (Seagate Slim Drive). This is my dell xps 13 laptop with windows 10. I appreciate all input and sorry for the bad writing.I did this real quick Why is that? Did somebody notice something like this? I think the files are there but something is wrong with size reporting because I remember one time I went inside the parent folder, selected all sub-folders (control + A) and clicked properties and got the size I was expecting. I even used file copying tools like richcopy and also got the same result. I copied to a network drive and then to a local drive and got the same result. Two days ago this happened: I got a flash with 3 GB of data, copied it to my machine successfully (as per windows) but the copied parent folder is only 2.2 GB of data. So why? If I go over the files manually, things seems fine and everything is there but I can't possibly check for each and every file because of the hugs number of both files and sub-folders. The file system is the same, and the allocation unit size should be the same as well. It is annoying because sometimes you want to copy files from a USB drive of a friend and you want to make sure you got all the files before returning it but you obviously can't because of this weird issue. But NO, that's not the case with me!!! You copy folder1 from drive Z to drive Y, and the resulting folder1 in drive Y will be less in size although windows claimed the copy operation completed successfully. You know, it is just natural to check the size of the copied folder to make sure everything was copied successfully. Sometimes when I copy large folders from location A to location B, the size in the new location will be noticeably different.

#Why is my windows folder so big windows 10

I noticed this only with windows 10 boxes, hence the question in the title. I don't know if anybody have seen something like this, but this is driving me nuts.
