Why the physical size of folder containing the sparse file is not displaying correct size in Info

248 Views Asked by At

I have one folder "test" which contains only one sparse file. The logical size of file is 5.24 GB but physical size is zero bytes, which is correctly displayed in file properties, but the physical size of parent folder is not zero bytes.

I want to know why there is difference in physical size of file and parent folder and is there any way to modify folder's physical size. Although du -sh returns correct physical size but I want to display it in info too, similar to the way it is displayed for sparse file.

I am using High Sierra with APFS. Check the property "Size" of file and folder in below image.
