Why Does Windows Say Storage Is Full When My Files Don’t Add Up?

Windows says my drive is nearly full, but when I add up the folders I can see, there’s still a large chunk of storage missing. I’ve already emptied the Recycle Bin and checked Downloads.

What usually accounts for the difference between the visible files and the space Windows reports? I’m wondering whether it could be restore points, temporary files, or something else hidden from the usual folder view. What’s the safest way to identify what’s taking up the space before deleting anything?
