I need to look at FSCrawler code about stats (I don't recall exactly) but some ideas:

- May be you restarted FSCrawler?
- May be there is a bug in FSCrawler which is indexing again and again the same files?
- May be FSCrawler also records how many folders have been indexed as well?

For sure I would not take FSCrawler stats seriously. It's more an internal number (could be used for debugging purposes).

But if you can reproduce with a small scenario what is happening, I'd appreciate if you open an issue in FSCrawler project with all the issue recreation steps.

Thanks!
