In windows explorer if you right-click properties on one of the frontpage web hidden folders ( _vti_pvt, _overlay, etc) the size listed is smaller than the size on disk that is listed. It's usually a small difference. I have one web where there is a very large difference. Win reports the size as 400Kb but the size on disk listed is 2Mb. The same happens when uploaded to my host. Does anybody know why? I would delete the files, but I'm not sure what files I can delete in those folders without killing the web. If I copy a file to a different folder it's still big, so it's not hidden files or anything. Any ideas :confused:

How many files are there in that folder? It may be because there are many files. More disk space is allocated for the same size data with many files vs. a few files...

Well, some of the folders only have about 8 files and some have many files. I see what your saying, but it's a huge difference. I assume there is somehing else going on. The whole web should be around 5mb, but it's 35 :mad:.
