How did you supposedly format this disk? I'm thinking you did something else. Maybe reinstalled windows?

Thats basically reinstalling windows to out of box when you first got it. But from the image you posted, I don't think it actually did it. Windows itself shouldn't be over 30gb after a fresh install. If there was an option to keep existing files in tact then thats probably what you did.

Check your c drive for a folder labeled windows.old If so, it placed all your old data in that folder. Hence the reason why you have less space available now then you did before.

Yeh, i also noticed i have a file named "Temp_SafeToDeleteRefreshFile_Attempt0__File0" that 794 Gb, is it safe to delete both windows.old and this file?

Windows.old folder is safe to delete as long as you don't need the data thats in that folder.
