Although there are so many alternatives, Windows Explorer remains my favorite Hard Drive web client.
This article explains how I fixed this problem.
This problem was weird and I had never encountered such a problem before.
This was showing different size from the drive properties.
I ran Disk Cleanup but it was of no use as it didnt suggest much space could be recovered.
Something else was wrong.
I decided to use a third party tool to see where my space was going visually.
Then I found some folders which were showing zero byte size.
This was unusual as System Volume Information and C:UsersPublic were also zero bytes.
The common thing in these folders was that I was unable to open these folders.
I closed WinDirStat and ran it with administrative privileges.
WinDirStat started showing the correct stats after running with administrative mode.
By the way, I am using MiniTools Partition Wizard free edition to resize my drives.
You should always back up your data before doing anything sensitive.
