2 identical drives backed up 54GB difference

Post by schemer »

I have this problem where my E and F drive have different amount Free when they should be the same. Initially the numbers were different but after trying to correct it I ended up with this:
I have 2 WD 1TB Spinny hard drives installed as E and F on my pc. I use the F drive as a backup of my E drive. I installed them about the same time and have a profile to backup E to F. When I look at the drives in explorer I see drive E has 678GB free of 1.81TB and drive F has 733GB free of 1.81TB. So I modified the profile th backup F to E to see if that would fix it but it ended up with even less free on E. What is the correct or best way to have them identical? I looked at each folder and compared the two drives with 2 open explorer windows and everything matches up 100%. I rebooted and still the same. How to fix without losing any data from either drive?
Thanks,
schemer

I figured it out. It was the Recycle Bin on drive E. I used properties in explorer and did a disk cleanup on Drive E and the recycle bin had 54GB in it.
Hope that helps someone else.
