Understanding disk space using WSL2

Complete novice here, so please tell me if this should be posted in a different forum. If the answer is already available online, I haven't been able to find it in my searches.

I set up Ubuntu 20.04 using WSL2 per the official Windows instructions. I did this because I needed to build and run a Docker container, and the instructions recommended following the WSL2 link.

After doing this, I see in the Ubuntu command prompt that the allotted disk space is 250 GB. I don't see this 250 GB allocation reflected anywhere in Windows. It previously said I had 317 GB free, and it still says that after a couple restarts. Is Windows secretly hiding 250 GB from me now, because it has been allocated to WSL? Do I really only have 67 GB free? Thank you
