You likely don't have all of your data synced to your computer. Any files or folders you've removed using Selective Sync or Smart Sync would not be reflected in the space used on your computer, but would still be accounted for when viewing your account online.
When viewing your account online, whatever it shows as your usage is the real number. You haven't lost any storage space.

Many thanks for your input Rich
