I deleted a compressed file, now it just shows that it takes up space on my drive without actually taking up place

[YASHK241]

I tried to compress a 80 gb file, but it was stuck at 0 compressed for a while so i closed it. I then deleted the file. But now it shows that it takes up space on my drive, but when i actually check the total size of my drive by selecting all folders in the drive it does not add up. This means that the file is somehow still taking up space, at least according to the drive properties. Please help me fix this issue

It should ask if you want to run it on reboot. Say yes, then reboot.

When you selected all files on C: to check their properties did you have hidden and system files shown?

Download and run Space Sniffer. Make sure you run it as administrator.

i deleted a few files so it changed a bit, but space sniffer does find more hidden files but it is still not big enough to make sense of fthe 200 + gb difference
