Exclamation Hard drive question

I've crashed my computer a few times and restored it with Automatic Restore. My hard drive says I'm using 31 GB of space, when the first time I only used about 6, is it possible that all the data that i lost when i crashed my PC, is still on there, using hard drive space, but unusable? if so is is it possible to delete it?
