    I had 160GB on my blade one minute and then 139GB the next, I didn't install or download anything but within one minute I lost 21GB of storage space and I have no idea why.

    Notebook and specs? Is it a Razer Blade with an
    SSD?

    Download Crystal diskinfo and see what the readout is. If its an SSD, you may have just had an NAND package die but there is likely a simpler explanation.

    Do you have a pending download in Steam? Steam will pre-allocate the space needed for the installation. Lots of other programs do this as well so keep that in mind. If you're looking for a good accounting of all of the files on your hard drive, I highly recommend WinDirStat -- https://windirstat.info/
