Empty folder with huge file size. Why is that?

Open Windows File Explorer, click on the View Tab, go to Options and make sure you are displaying Hidden Files.

.
Also get a Trial License for Tree Size (Jam Software) and look at your drive with Tree Size. That will find large (and hidden) files and should expose a very large file. Local backup files are usually hidden and are large files.
I use Tree Size here and it is a good tool for this.
