Getting The Actual Count on my hard drive

In apple Mac ventura 13.3.1 on my Mac Mini I've moved several terabytes of data off my hard drive, how do I refresh to show the new total?

FYI, sometimes the system may not show any extra free space if there are any current backup snapshots as the deleted data may still reside in those hidden backup snapshots. Those backup snapshots usually will be deleted after a few days. This is new behavior since Apple began using the new Apple APFS file system.
