SSD says 40 GB of data used, everything highlighted + properties says it's only 23GB

Wondering why a third of my SSD data is taken up when I can only find a sixth of actual stuff on the SSD. I want to keep the space free so that I can use it down the road but it seems like every day I have less and less memory on my SSD.
Been moving a lot of data between SSD and HDD. Any ideas?

Once the stuff has been moved from SSD to HDD, I delete and empty the recyling bin from the SSD so that the data is completely gone. However it seems like my data keeps dwindling on the SSD.

Thanks, that was some help. Size user: 28.4 GB

capacity: 119 GB

Reading: 79.4 GB free of 119 GB.

Still don't know where the rest of the junk is.

I don't know what over provisioning is, and no I don't have backup/system restore enabled
