So 3 years ago bought this fake USB drive that's apparently 2tb which is obviously fake. So does anyone here know how I can force this to actual show it's actual size/ if there's a software to do so?

The only solution is to fill the drive with data and check its actual storage capacity. However, this process is time-consuming because, apart from firmware modifications that might reveal any capacity, these fake drives also suffer from poor write speeds. You're probably using about 140GB of an SD card inside.

Recommendation: discard it and purchase a reliable USB drive from a reputable brand.
