Windows 10: Deleted files but it's still showing as taking up space.

So i linked my Google Drive with my Windows 10 ASUS Laptop. After realizing how much space it took up i ended up deleting it. I went into control panel and deleted it, emptied it from my recycle bin but it's still showing all the space being used. Under my pc i search DRIVE and nothing shows up.

Any idea how this can still be taking up all this space ? It's about 200GB that should have been freed up. It says "8.55GB FREE OF 237GB".

Thanks.

some hidden files that takes up space on my hard drive?

the next step after it finishes is to run disk clean again /clean up system files and when the box shows up click
on the more options tab there you can clean up programs you don't use and delete restore points which can take up space

Hi,

May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
perform the task:

• Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
  
• Choose the files to delete
  
• Click on "Clean up system files"
  
• Click on Ok
  

For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.
