Why does the formatted drive have less capacity than stated on the box?
All disk manufacturers label their disks by the unformatted capacity of the raw drive. The formatted capacity may be less. The difference comes from a numerical conversion (using base 10-decimals vs base 2-binary) and from the fact when the operating system formats your drive, the formatting also uses up some of the disk space with special files which are hidden to you. If your drive is limited to 32GB or 137GB, you should also check that your computer has the lastest BIOS in order to access larger disks. Please consult your computer manufacturer’s website for their BIOS downloads.
Hello! Because disk space is also taken up by system files or system files. By the way, the fact that you just put files in the trash, you will not optimize disk space in any way. You don’t see a lot of garbage, it could be the file cache or the browser. Use dissyapp.com to track and clean up disk space on time.
