What size is the hard drive? I'm assuming it's not 350GB?

Can you post a screenshot of the Disk Management window? Expand it so we can see everything.

From the piechart, blue area is the usage, red area is the free space. usage : 201gb , free space : 140gb. When you look at the size of that folder it said 137gb, now notice that this is only the data inside the folder and not including windows system files and settings. So I suppose when combined with all system files, it is 201gb.
But another scenario is that sometimes there are space in the harddrive which is unallocated, and your active partition may use less space than total. From control panel, go to administrative tools, computer management, then to disk management. here you can have a thorough view of all your hard drive partitions.
