File Delete Counts - Windows 10

Question

I recently copied a folder from one usb drive to another. When I looked at the properties on source folder it says

   Size: 54.8 GB (58,859,461,371 bytes)

   Size on Disk: 54.9 GB (59,014,905,856 bytes )

   Contains: 76,318 Files 6,371 Folders

   When I checked the folder properties on the destination drive it says the same thing. So all seems well right?

   When I right click on the source drive folder and windows to delete, it pops up a progress bar and says "Preparing to recycle from" showing the source drive. Then it starts increment and discovered items ... when it had Discovered 163,144 items at 99.0 GB) I quickly aborted the operation because it discovering way more files then was in the folder.

   My questions are, why is it finding more to delete than what was in the folder I'm asking it to delete?

   Is the discovery processing finding everything on my drive but will only delete the files in that folder?

   I'm confused by the way it is reporting it's progress to me based on what I asked it to do.

   Thank You

Answer 1

I can’t. You need the app. They changed that in windows 10.

So sorry.

Answer 2

It is up to date, Windows 10 always keeps it up to date. Please give another way to see that bug report or at least tell me if that bug interferes with proper deleting of the files or just reports it incorrectly.

The link you provided takes me to the feedback Hub and says I need an app to run it.  I would very much like to read up on the bug because I don't know if I should continue to delete my files or not. Please help.

Thank You
