I've configured Everything (Version 1.4.1.1005 (x64)) to locate and sort Folders by Size.
Looking for a particular Folder name within another particular directory (workfiles "O:\___________Configured Items\__2019 DOWNLOADS\" )
I get a listing of all folders within that location with their respective sizes.
The first listing (the largest) shows the Folder to be 146,850 KB.
- Bringing up its Properties its size is listed as 143 MB (150,373,788 bytes))
- Figuring Everything might be reporting on its parent folder I notice that folder is 669 MB (702,160,306 bytes))
Am I executing the search incorrectly or should I submit this to Bug Reports?
Thanks

Re: Folder search Size questions
146,850 KB = 150374400 Bytes.
The difference with 150,373,788 (612 bytes) might be cause by rounding off.
In general:
If your O:-drive is on a network or a local non-NTFS disk, it will be updated on a schedule (see Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Folders) and there might be changes made to that disk that Everything is not aware of.

Re: Folder search Size questions
To show the folder size in bytes (might be useful to compare):
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the View tab on the left.
- Change Size format to: Bytes
- Click OK.

Re: Folder search Size questions
On a technical level, there are reasons why the reported sizes can differ.
If interested, take a look here
(that list is not complete, btw; there are even more causes for differences)
