I have 2TB of "other" data showing up on one drive in my pool. It doesn't make sense, because I don't actually see that much data on the drive.
My system:
WHS 2011
Drive Pool installed
A drive pool ("Z") with 7 pooled hard drives
Stablebit Scanner installed
Here are the details of the problem: DrivePool shows that one of the drives in my pool -- the G drive -- has over 2TB of "other" data on it. (I have attached an image of the Drive Pool info.) When I go to File Explorer and look at "My Computer," it does indeed suggest that there is well over 2TB of data on the drive. (Image attached.) But when I look at the drive in File Explorer, it confirms that the only thing on the drive is the pool part, and when I click on the properties of the pool part folder (image attached), it shows only 266GB in the pool part, which is roughly what DrivePool shows as the duplicated and unduplicated data on the drive. There's nothing else on the drive.
This seems wrong.
I have tried several things to fix it, including:
* Rechecking duplication multiple times
* Resetting all settings, multiple times
* Rebooting, multiple times.

How do I fix it?
