Why do .old files show different sizes in Windows 10 systems?
The same Windows.old folder displays inconsistent sizes in WinDirStat, Disk Cleanup, and File Explorer (200GB/700GB/1GB). I want to know its actual disk usage.

The Windows.old folder can show inconsistent sizes across different tools because of how they calculate and display disk usage, especially with system and hidden files. To determine its actual disk usage.
