5 months agoHi tblanpied, thanks for the screenshots.
This would appear to be related to how Mac OS displays the size of local folders on your device in Finder.
As you can see, the Get Info page correctly shows the Size on Disk, which is the actual size of files stored in those folders.
There might be a setting in Finder itself that changes the 'Size' column into 'Size on Disk' instead, though we wouldn't have any information on how to change that.
I'll leave this thread open for other users to comment in with their suggestions.
