Google tells me that my quota is exceeded and clicking on the suggested link "https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota" I can see a lot of files, many of them of large size, but they aren't on my drive.
I can't see where they are located, they are not in "https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive" nor "https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/shared-with-me".
Isn't weird? Where are these files?

You can find the location of a item in the Quota screen by clicking on it, then looking at the bottom of the screen to see the folder path, or alternatively by opening the info panel on the right-hand side, then looking at the folder where it says "Location". (See the orange circles in the screenshot below.)
If these are empty, you have an 'orphaned' file, which means it does not belong in any folder, but it still takes up storage space.
