iPad Mismatch of Sync space compared to desktop

Perceived problem:


  • iPad says I have 8.7 GB free.
  • Desktop, while connection to iPad, says there ought to be ~20 GB free.


I don’t know what’s correct!


At one point some time ago, I suffered brain fade & synced my music to the iPad sloppily.

That put duplicates onto the iPad & other audio files that didn’t need to be there.


I cleaned this up [ostensibly] by syncing only checked music. However, nothing appears to have changed in the feedback.


Ideas?

OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), iPad

UPDATE:

Something must not be clearing or syncing correctly in the music files.

To test - I deleted a local copy of Keynote app, which has never been used on the iPad - and the memory count changed appropriate to the deletion.


It still shows a significantly wrong memory disparity about music content, if I can assume the restructure of music happened as I intended.
