I have enabled "show hidden files and folders".
If I right click on the "WINDOWS" folder & see properties, it shows 15GB of size.
If I go inside the folder, select all its contents and right click to see the properties, it shows only 5GB of size.
Why is the WINDOWS folders holding up an extra 10GB for?
