Okay, I fixed it already. It only has stuff that I recently sent to the
pc from the phone using bluetooth, and then allowed the files to go to
the default location
And I'm going to buy a 256 GB flashdrive for when I'm traveling. My 84
year old friend has asked me, Why shouldn't I use a flashdrive instead
of an external drive, and I didnt know the answer. finally said it's
because big HDD's used to be so much cheaper than big flashdrives. Is
that right?

Exactly. Athough they seem to taunt me more, by promoting the Users
directories and listing their own Documents, Pictures, Home**, Gallery
etc. directories at the top where they are easy to find, while I have to
scroll down to the name of my computer and expand 1 levels to get to my
Data directory. **I still have no idea what is in Home.
And some programs like AutoHotKey store files there, files that iddnt
get copied over to the next computer, and I had to go back and get each
one separately.
