...I have 1.91 GB of used space when I click on C: and 1.27 GB when I select the right pane files.

So what does all of that mean?

It means that your system is consuming 1.91 GB of disk space to store 1.27 GB of data, giving you a storage efficiency of 66%. If I were a gambler, I'd say you had a FAT16 file system.

If so, and you converted to FAT32, increasing your efficiency into the 95% range, you'd gain over 500 MB of additional storage.

For comparison, on my FAT32 disk, I have 382 MB of data occupying 391 MB of disk space, giving me a 97.7% storage efficiency.

Cheers, PW.
