Hi
Have a problem with a messenger file that has a reported size of 8.9 GB
on a hard disc of only 10GB.
Using tree size pro the hard disc size is getting reported to be 17 GB.
The is a file similaritytable_2 which would seem to be the culprit, I
cant delete the file however.

Anybody else got the same problem or any ideas how it is screwing
things up ?

Greetings,

It is a sparse file, that is, if you actually look at the properties of the file you'll find
that the actual "Size on disk" is only a few MB.
