I was reinstalling Windows after some part upgrades (so this is a brand new install) and noticed that it is reporting the size of the Windows folder wrong.
Properties says ~2 GB, drive used space and some other programs (spacesniffer) puts it at ~14 GB.
Windows v1809.
What is going on here?
Edit: Note: I am a power user. I know what symlinks, hardlinks, ntfs reparse points et al are. I am looking for an explanation for this discrepancy. While some programs may be misled by those (unlikely as it is, for programs whose primary purpose is counting space), under that theory, it still wouldn't explain why drive used space still falls victim to the same discrepancy.
