Have you COMPLETELY powered down the computer? Not just telling it to
shut down but actually pulling the plug or flipping the switch on the
power supply if it has one? Best place to start for oddball happenings!

Mine match in my records so can't investigate my own. Maybe you worked a
station (more than one or one more than once) that their operation was later
disallowed and the confirmations removed. I do not know how they remove
LoTW QSLs for illegal operations. For paper QSLs they catch it if you try
to submit. Dan KI6X

Yeah, except for this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
*Can I delete QSOs that I've submitted?*
No. If you've submitted a QSO containing erroneous information, correct
the information and submit the QSO again
<https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/submitting-qsos/>.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So how can the total be affected with an action that can not be taken?

I doubt that's the case, but have no intention to investigate a one QSL
discrepancy. Years ago I tracked a similar discrepancy to a W1 callsign
that was confirmed, then the record disappeared only to show up again a
few months (?) later. I suspect LoTW has a few glitches that they try to
keep on the down low and not advertise too much.
Registering for LoTW is fairly involved and secure, as it should be, so
that's why I think it's not a question of removing an invalid log, but
of course, I can't be sure.
The mismatch is in the total QSL count reported and the amount of QSLs
reported for all my callsigns under Statistics, like PY2YP described.
Weird, but nothing to lose sleep for.

Greetings all;
So I'm not sure if this has been addressed, I'm sure it has so pardon
me if this is redundant. I am trying to update DX4WIN with my DXCC QSL
Card Report file (adi). I am getting a very high number of entries in
the .notfound file. It appears the reason is the QSL information in the
adi file is missing the time stamp. Therefore these entries do not
match up.
I was hoping to utilize this feature with the hope the DXCC award
status would be updated in DX4WIN. Now I'm sure the problem exists
between the seat and the keyboard.... so what am I doing wrong? Is
there a way to import this file to get the QSO's to match my log and
update the information for me?

First, Kurt, there is no automated way to update DXCC award credit
status in DX4WIN, other than by hand. The file you downloaded can't
be used by DX4WIN. Please read this article:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html
and see this utility:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/
Second, any DXCC credits you have that pre-date LoTW (i.e. paper
confirmations from the the 1990s and earlier) won't have the correct
QSO information in them. The paper ARRL DXCC records did not contain
any QSO information, only callsigns.
I was hoping that the LoTW program above could be adapted for VUCC,
but unfortunately, there is no way to download a file of VUCC award
credits that includes both paper QSL credits as well as LoTW credits.
