Missing space in hard drive

Hello All,

I was trying to free up space in one of my drives, and I noticed something weird. I have a 1TB SDD partitioned into 488GB (F:) and 443GB (E:). I was able to free up space in drive F: However, the total space does not match the used and free space.  I made sure that even the OS files were visible and I checked all folders in the root folder to see what is taking up the most space. After counting the total of space used, I noticed that I was using around 107GB.

However, if I am using 107GB and I have 173 GB of free space, I am missing around 200GB.

I checked Computer Management & used CHKDSK with administrator rights and I found nothing strange… just saying I am using around 267GB (false).  The Storage App also shows I am using 267Gb out of 488 and 173 free spaces, but still only shows what is taking 107GB

WizzTree also shows 107GB of space used but still shows 314 GB of space used. How is that possible??
