SSD reporting incorrect free space

I have an X25-M 80GB Mainstream SATA2 Solid State Drive on a Win7 (32) system. In "My Computer" it is reporting 3.52GB free of 74.5G. However, when I right click on the individual folders under the C: drive, they add up to only about 26GB.

Windows 12.4G

Users 6.06G

Program Files 7.7G

Misc - less than a Gig

Naturally, if I try and transfer a file >3.5GB, it says no space available.

Windows Disk Cleanup finds a few hundred Meg of junk.

What's going on here? Hardware issue? Windows issue? What diagnostics can I run?

Thanks,

Kyle

aahhhh. In a hidden folder, Pinnacle Studio auxiliary files. 37Gig worth. All set, thanks.

How did you identify the hidden folder?
