SpaceMonger is wildly inaccurate making it unusable

SpaceMonger detects 0-byte files 8589934592 Bytes (exactly 8.0 GB)

from Stardock Forums

SpaceMonger is display zero-byte files as 8.0GB! This completely blows up the proportions to make the application useless.

These are just regular 0-byte files. Not on any cloud-service-mapped directories or anything.

SpaceMonger 0-byte files

I did notice that the number it shows is 8589934592 Bytes which exactly translates to 8.0 GB. So that's some hint about what is happening.

Windows 10 Pro (Version 20H2 build 19042.610)

Please fix this as SpaceMonger has been the best way to quickly see what is taking up the space, allowing you to clean up a heavily utilized hard drive!
