Let's say I have a cloud based drive - 500GB total size, 50GB of data on this drive - with 25GB already in the cloud and 25GB as 'to upload' and uploading.
And at that stage for whatever reason I need to format such drive and start again - for the sake of this scenario let's say it was unrecoverable chkdisk error and format is the only solution.
So I'm formatting the drive - the drive in system shows as empty - full 500GB of space is available. I'm copying 10GB of new data and now I have this:
total size of drive - 500GB
(new) data on the drive - 10GB
already in the cloud - 25GB
'to upload' - 35GB
'Clean up' is not cleaning this up actually.
So what is happening here? What is that 'empty' / old / pre format 25GB of data that still needs to be uploaded?
How those 50GB will be utilized in the future - is that going be replaced with new data? Wat is the process here?
Any explanation will be much appreciated, thank you!
