Default Possible Memory Leak?

Ok so on a whim I went to go and check the storage space left on the device. It said I had 3megs left, keep in mind the week prior I had 17megs of space remaining. So I went to remove my internet files/history/cookies and i only had 7 megs of space. So then I sync'ed my Q and removed any files on the device that I put there, got off the texts with Jeyo and got it up to 8megs. There is nothing on the device, all programs are installed on my SD card.

So I decided to go folder by folder to see the sizes of each folder. There was no folder over 2 megs with the exception of my \Windows folder which was 87megs (so the properties said). Now I thought the device only had 64megs of storage space!? How is that possible to have a folder say 87megs!? Could the reading be wrong on these things?

Any thoughts on how to go about this? I have not installed anything recently and if I did it was put on the SD card....
