Win8 disk used space and file size does not match the solution

  
                                    

Generally speaking, you can use the right-click property to view the disk space usage of the Win8 system, and the used space displayed will be the same as the actual situation. But sometimes there will be situations where the two don't match. What is going on? What should I do at this time?

Solution:

First, you need to enable the display of hidden files and System file;

Second, the disk contains a folder similar to "System Volume Information", even if we open the display hidden, the volume will not be calculated into the volume, if you do not believe, you can right Click on the System Volume Information folder to view the properties. The general volume is 0 bytes, because these folders are not only hidden, but also protected by NTFS permissions. Directly select all content view properties, and see the size of the file does not contain such folders;

Note: The System Volume Information folder is the folder where the system restore point is stored for system protection.

The above is the solution that Win8 disk has used space and does not match the actual. Under normal circumstances, the disk used space and all file sizes are consistent. After installing the above method, you can achieve this effect.
