Storage and File Count and Size Incorrect - Making Clean-Up Difficult

Good day. I recently joined Box, and have been moving all of the data from my hard-drives onto Box. I finally completed this task, and am now doing a cleanup. This has proven to be challenging because I think that a folder is empty and then it shows that there are still files there and that it is not a 0B folder.

Sometimes, there are actually files there (they take a moment to load and refresh), and sometimes it seems like this is just a bug. I am afraid to delete anything now because I might lose files.

Can a script be run to correct the counts please?

Great, thank you very much!

Yes, agreed - I do hope this is fixed in the near future.

Even if there is a way for us to run the script ourselves by pressing a button or something.
