My hd is actually split into few partitions, so yeah. And no actually. It's actually 14 gig on programs and another 14 on windows.

Also,try scanning your PC for viruses.Disabling the hibernation file on your HDD might free the lost space.
Go to cmd and run as admin.
Type powercfg -h off and type exit.
It is IMPORTANT to run cmd as admin so it wouldn't have any errors for permission :D

No because the hiberfil.sys eats up space without you knowing about it.So I recommend disabling it.
