I am getting my Laptop fixed/replaced and logged on to see my ledger holdings and delete the desktop app.
I noticed my account was about half what it should be and have an unexplained transaction of 0.22btc out of my account.

So by saying that your Laptop is in a repair shop;
You meant that you've used another PC, installed Ledger Live to check your balance, then deleted the app?

Is there any chance that you've created another Ledger Bitcoin account in your original app in your Laptop and that missing 0.22BTC is in that second account?
If so, you should just re-create that account in the "desktop app" where you checked your balance.

Looking again at my Ledger and transactions I think I may have transferred money from BTC to USDC in order to protect it during the bear market but forgot about it. Either that or its been stolen
I am pretty sure its the former but is there any way to check.

In that case, you should see a transaction with a similar amount.
Identify the addresses shown in the output, the one with 0.22BTC should be a deposit address where you've done the BTC-to-USDC exchange.
Then, it's your job to identify where that address belongs since it yours and addresses doesn't have tags for anyone to check.

Either way I am down about 0.22BTC of what I should or thought I had

I still find it hard to analyse this,I'm confused is it exchange wallet or a non custodial wallet??
So what you were saying is that you used Binace for holding before you swapped it to USDC while Bitcoin was dipping but now you logged into your Binace account and cannot seem to get the previous balance you thought you had?? If I'm right... then there're several possibilities either you have forgotten the email address you used and you signed into another account if you had multiple because if you really swapped it to USDC(either everything or out of it) ,it should still be there or you spent the USDC and might have forgotten, or you are checking a spot balance while you have the full balance on Funding / the other way round(I.e checking funding balance while you have the full balance on Spot) but by default you should see your total balance at the home page.

Tried googling the address cant see any mention of exchanges
I am able to find it on the block chain

You don't need to Google the address.

Just enter it in mempool.space for bitcoin or etherscan.io for ethereum addresses...

But looks like you just made a transaction and forgot about it. A hacker would have moved all your coins , not half.

Can you post it here? It's bad for privacy but that's up to you.
WalletExplorer might know which address the wallet belongs to. If the funds were moved again, that is.

Your story is hard to understand. Please omit anything that's irrelevant to the problem.

Follow the transactions online, see if you can find if you sent it to an address of an exchange.

It sounds like you just forgot you made a transaction. It's always good to label transactions, so you still know what it's for years later.

I fear I have done something very stupid. I got into crypto in 2017 but am a small time investor. I haven't been active since late 2022

I logged on to Binance the only other place I have any serious BTC on hold and it wasnt there.
