Does "not" everybody see this?? (story blunder)

These 2 paragraphs contradict each other: (pasted below)
(I read: "several thousand emails"-in one paragraph, then 475 files in the next.) I know that most email is 'usually' saved in one post box-file which can grow quite large depending on the software / parameters set for size, and how long the same program was used to collect that much email. However I don't see the 475 missing files as taking up that much room on the Laptop. (unless he was D/Ling A/V files!) So... YEAH THE DRIVE WOULD SEEM TO BE VIRTUALLY EMPTY....FROM THE GET_GO.

(The paragraphs quoted:)
Excerpts from Lazzara's opinion: Shortly thereafter, PharMerica began examining its computers, including the laptop computer that Arledge used in his Tampa office. Stephen J. Myers, director of Windows and Communications Services at PharMerica, was directed to review Arledge's laptop computer. While reviewing the laptop, he determined that there were several thousand e-mails on the laptop but that the hard drive "C" drive was virtually empty. PharMerica also employed a forensic computer expert, Adam Sharp at E-Hounds, to examine the PharMerica computer that Arledge had been using at his Tampa office...

Arledge then permanently deleted, without authorization, over 475 files. Arledge also permanently deleted, without authorization, e-mails and other files to "cover his tracks" and deprive PharMerica of the benefit of the information contained in those files...
