From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're not running snapshot backups are you? Classic newbie linux mistake. Those old snapshots fill up a hard drive fast.
I dont think so, I went and checked my drives, everything was fine and visible. ~900gb free and two volumes of a few mbs. Thought Inwould format and now I have to learn about mounting again because I can see it in directories but cant in disk analyser.
You should always see drives in the Disks application mounted or unmounted. Maybe youre getting partitions mixed up , easy to do
