I'm looking for help and/or feedback with an annoying problem I am having using Finder.
Problem: I've noticed on multiple occasions that the MacOS Finder gives incorrect information for Folder sizes. Often times it will show the Folder contains "Zero Bytes" and sometimes it will even show a Folder size at some value that is inconsistent with the total sizes of the files contained in the folder.
This is a significant problem and appears to be a bug as far as I can tell but it is possible I have a wrong setting somewhere.
If it is a bug that causes this annoying problem it is unacceptable; however, I'd prefer it to not be a bug and to be something I am doing wrong and am hopeful somewhere here can set me straight.
Has anyone else on this forum experienced this problem and, if so, were you able to fix it?
Thanks,
