About this tag
The tag 'extra files' on WindowsForum.com covers user experiences where storage drives display unexpected files from other drives or show incorrect capacity after errors or system restores. In one example, a 2.5TB hard drive showed as 1.36TB and contained extra files from another drive following a restore operation. Discussions focus on troubleshooting such anomalies without reformatting, using tools like Error Checking, and understanding potential causes like partition issues or restore process glitches. The tag is relevant for Windows users dealing with drive misidentification or unexplained file additions after system events.
