i have a tomtom one 3rd gen. i have made a backup folder of the maps to my computer manually. i attempted to load maps from another same model device but that didn't work. so now i want to copy over the original maps back that i back ed up. what i have noticed is a mysterious space loss on the device memory. the total device size is 978 mb i believe i remember this to be correct. my entire map backup folder is 869 mb. so i deleted the entire usa and canada map folder and attempt to copy over the backup. the files start to copy then i get a message that there is no free space left. so i delete everything inside the usa and canada map folder on the device and now from root of the device i select all the folders and files and right click properties it shows 25.6 mb. i also go to my computer where all my drives show and i right click on the tomtom drive to show properties and now is a completely different size showing for what is used on the device. look at the 2 images included for reference. can anyone tell me whats wrong here? Thanks!
the image below shows all the folders there with the usa and canada folder empty!
