Windows 10: Is my data being misreported? And if so, what should I do?

So, I was trying to install a new game, when I was notified that I only had 62.8 gb left of storage out of the 453 gb. I checked in here.I looked through everything in 'installed apps', and added everything together. The sum was only about 15.6402691 gb.I'm unsure about what's happening with this. I would appreciate any help that is available. Please be sure to correct me if I am incorrect in any way.

Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown
I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD
