SYMPTOMS

The size of your Groove workspaces (as displayed by Groove) does not match the size of the Groove account directory (as displayed by Microsoft Windows).

CAUSE

Most workspace data is stored in your Groove account directory. However, the size of the workspaces and the size of the account directory may differ significantly. There are several reasons why these sizes do not match. These reasons are as follows:
  • Not all workspace data is in the account directory. Files that are shared in the workspace are stored in the binary files store. The binary files store is in the permanent subdirectory of the Groove system data directory.
  • Stored data in either location is encrypted and compressed.
  • The account directory contains logs and program data that are not associated with workspaces.
