The missing space is most likely in the Recycle Bin or in other hidden folders. Depending on your OS version, it may also be in other user folders if you have UAC enabled.

Whenever I need to figure out where disk space has gone, I typically use WinDirStat. It makes it pretty easy to see what's using disk space. I also typically use CCleaner to clean the disk of unnecessary garbage in the form of temp files and such. Be careful with the latter, however, as you are deleting files with it.

Also, dependent on the OS, your file system may need checking using something like chkdisk to find file and table entries that don't match, etc
