Q: Disk size in Time Machine, size is not the same as in finder

I am new to Mac and having a whale of a time.

I have an external USB 1TB drive that is partitioned 118 gig for the Time Machine and 868.98 as storage, however in time machine is see's the 118gig as 6.13 gig.

I have seen another post that says drag the offending drive into spotlight/privacy then click on the minus symbol and all will be ok.......well it isn't  lol.

 

Any help appreciated, oh the disk was was one i used on NTFS but partitioned and formatted it in Man format. I have copied files onto it so i know it works it's just the size issue.

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
