"Site Content" and "Open with explorer" are showing different number of items for a Document lib
I have a document library inside my modern communication team site. now from "Site Content" the document library has 6802 items as follow:- now i went to the document library using class...
I would trust the SharePoint number more. But only thing that might be happening maybe some of your folders or files have illegal characters that windows doesn't read causing the mismatch. Or folders with permissions you don't have(assume your site collection admin on the site so wouldn't be the case).
Also the hidden files in the library could not be taken into account in the Windows count...

second question. now in my case i chose to show hidden files inside explorer,, so will this still eliminate them from the explorer count ??
- Also, files that are not yet checked in will not appear in windows explorer count
