Yes but there may be some discrepancy in reported space. If you look at any file properties in most cases you will see two values, "Size" and "Size on disk" which includes empty, wasted space due to fragmentation.If you delete something from hard drive, do you receive the exact same amount of space as the amount of space the deleted file occupied in the hard drive?

In addition to the above, if you have the Recycle Bin active, you would have to empty it in order to recover the space.If you delete something from hard drive, do you receive the exact same amount of space as the amount of space the deleted file occupied in the hard drive?
Does this ext have it's own recycle bin?Thanks for the answers. I already emptied Recycle Bin but still there is 4,096 bytes left on my Seagate external HDD used space together with my old files.
Here’s the scenario. I copied files on my Seagate external HDD. After several hours I deleted it. Strangely there is a 4,096 bytes difference in space.
USED SPACE:
Before: 1,101,750,411,264
After: 1,101,750,415,360
There is 4,096 bytes difference.
What do you think it is? Please check these pictures.

Thanks for the info. But my concern is what is that 4,096 bytes left on my Seagate external HDD?The ext may have it's own recycle bin.....it's hidden.
Use goggle for how to view it.
If the ext has it's own recycle bin and it has something in it that might account for the space used.Thanks for the info. But my concern is what is that 4,096 bytes left on my Seagate external HDD?
4,096 bytes is the size of one cluster.Thanks for the info. But my concern is what is that 4,096 bytes left on my Seagate external HDD?
