I've got my iTunes media and movie library on an external Samsung T7 1Tb drive. If I click on the drive in Finder, it tells me that the drive has about 750 gb used and 254 gb free space. However, when I try to back this up to a 1 TB external drive, I get an error message that the external drive is full.

If i go into the folder list on the Samsung, it tells me that the iTunes media folder is 960 gb and my movie folder is 18 GB. As noted, however, when I run info for the entire Samsung, it tell me that the total used is only 750. Any ideas why there is a discrepancy? Is it possible that I have duplicate folders on the Samsung that are not being read when I get info for the entire drive?
