Almost no free space left on D drive, but files/folders only take up little space

Almost no free space left on D drive, but files/folders only take up
little space

I'm using Windows 7.
All of a sudden from nowhere, my D: Drive is showing a red bar for space,
and it says there are only 620 MB free out of 28.9 GB. Yet when I browse
into D:, select all files and folders, right click, and choose
"Properties", the total space taken by the contents of D is a mere 2 GB.
I've already enabled viewing hidden files, but the hidden files are really
small. What on earth is taking up the rest of the space? Or is the My
Computer's browser falsely saying I'm almost out of space?
