Why does 400GB of files equal 600GB of used space?

600GB ExFAT partition reports that it is full, almost zero space left. In Linux, I enable hidden files, select all folders & files in that partition, it reports 400GB of items. In Windows, I enable hidden files, select all folders & files in that partition, it also reports 400GB of items. In both Linux, Windows, I have empted the trash.
In GParted, it does not allow me to perform a partition Check. In Partition Assistant, it also reports 600GB no space.
How does 400GB of items equal 600GB of used space? What is the other 200GB of used space?
