How do you get a file on disk, not just file size in Java?

Question

I need file size on disk, not file size

File myFile = new File ("C:\\Send\\Capture.png"); System.out.println((int)myFile.length()); 

^ This code gives the file size. I need the file size on disk. They are always different, as in the figure below, right?

the answer is provided for C #, but since it uses the Win32 API functions, you can easily convert it to java. function used to get size on disk, GetCompressedFileSize

hope that helps
