Where is my hard drive space???

Hello all, I just recently bought a Sony Vaio CR and I really like it.. I do have one question though. What in the world is taking up all my hard drive space? I have 160gb hd, 141gb shows up.. I am fine with that. But then I have put 52gb worth of music and pics on, it says I have used 82.5 and only have 60 gb free. Can anyone explain this. I have gone in and deleted all the bloatware from the add/remove list and then even gone throught the c drive and deleted a bunch of stuff. I understand at the max 10gb of software, so does anyone have an idea where my 20gb's might be? Thanks.

I already did do a search.. I read about the semi clean install and deleting the restore points. With the restore points everyone else said they got about 10 to 20gb back. I got 2.5. Any ideas why? anyone??

 

Here's a good explanation directly from Western Digital:

The rest of the 7GB is in the recovery partition.
