On my 2TB external HDD is a NTFS primary partition 480GB large.
Combined size of the files present is 18.5 GB, mostly the pagefile.sys and the free space is 256MB. 18.5GB + 250MB is about 18.75GB, this does not equal 480GB so, about 460GB is missing
I've looked at this with TreeFileSize, and WinDirStats and even Windows 10 storage app, and this last one was the only one which had some sort of answer. See the pics.Question: outside of re-format, how do I get this disk space back? Besides. I also would like the 437GB of videos back.The partition and disk are accessible, for example I can move and resize partitions on it.
The only with some type of answer:
