Properties show two disk sizes

Fanus
Hello list
When I activate "this PC" and I select properties when pointing to a hard disk or even a folder it shows two sizes i.e. the Windows folder on my C-drive shows a size of 4.8 GB and a size of 6.22 GB. Can someone explain this and which reading is correct? Regards Fanus

Hi Fanus,
1 is probably the used space of the drive and
the other is probabably the free space you have left .

Mike & Fanus,
That's exactly what they are, and the first figure is (provided column order has not been rearranged from default) total size and the second free space. When I'm using NVDA it announces what the number is (e.g., Total size) before the value is announced. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 Always remember that computers are just glorified light bulbs - they rarely fail in continuous use and usually go pop when turned off and on. ~ Technician with the username Computer Bloke, on Technibble.com

The question raises a more basic question. How are you reading the columns? They all have explanatory text that is read. If you don't hear the text read, the question is why?

How does one turn off the reading of those column headers in NVDA? It get a little verbose to hear it each time I read across a line in "this pc" or "file explorer".

Hello Brian I forgot to mention that I am using JAWS, so when I activate the JAWS cursor in properties and read line by line from the bottom there are two lines, each showing a different disk size. I wonder if it is a JAWS issue. Regards Fanus
