Yep! Upon closer inspection with TinkerTool I found a 16GB file called "sleepimage". and erased it. So I checked some more drives and some have it and some don't. My MBP had 17.5 GB's A Spotlight search didn't show the VAR or VM folders, I would never have found it without TinkerTool. Is there a way to turn this feature off?
