Pre-render reduces my disk storage from 300GB to 83GB

I pre-rendered my video so it wouldn't freeze and Premiere reduced my disk storage from 300GB to 83GB. What do I do?

What was your sequence media involved? And what did you render to, the codec?

Post screenshots of sequence settings, export settings and media properties.

Most likely you need a bigger disk.
