You can save the screenshot to see more details in what is displayed in the properties? Otherwise it may be that either a partition restoration, put it in general on the PC high marks

I would recommend that you get gparted. download the iso and create a livecd from that. Then boot into that and see where all that space is. It might just be unpartitioned space.

Try to perform a disk cleanup

1. Select Start and select Computer

2. Right click Local Disk(C

and select Properties

3. Select the More Options tab and select Clean up under the System Restore and Shadow Copies

4. Select Delete when prompted

5. Select Ok and again select Delete when prompted

This should free up some space for you
