SSD says it's taking up more space than it should be

I recently noticed that my 128GB SSD is filling up really quickly, but it shouldn't be. Under "Computer" it says that I have 30.4 of 119 GB free. After adding up all the folders, I should have 72 GB free. Where did those other 42 GB go?

 

Thank you for any help. I'm just really worried.

 

(Quick background- I just built this desktop at the end of August, so I'm still new to all of this)

 

Thank again!

Use Windirstat and see what's taking up all that space. My guess is hibernation and page file.
