Folder Sizes Incorrect

Hi guys, I was just looking at why my SSD seemed so full and it seems like my PC has somehow read an extra 40GB of storage that I don't actually have full. Basically, when clicking from my user area from C:\Users, I see that there is 54.1GB of storage used in that folder. But when i click into that folder and CTRL+A that folder and click properties, it says that there's only 14.4GB used. I don't understand where this extra storage use has came from, and I need that 40GB. Any help would be appreciated and i'll include system specs and some screenshots in the space below.

 

My PC Specs are:

CPU: i3 6100

GPU: RX 480

MoBo: ASUS Z170-P

PSU: Corsair VS450

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (single stick to allow future upgrade)

SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB

Case: Thermaltake Versa H24

Monitor: ViewSonic VX2457-mhd

Windows 10 Pro - 64 bit

I realize PtP isn't inherently, but maybe that extra 10 GB of hidden files is from FreePCCleaner.ru

probably just a virus.
