Odd. Then your free space should reflect those files being gone. One handy way to figure out where you space went is to open your hard drive, make sure you are in list view (command+2) and then go to View Options (command-J). That pops up a window with extra options checkboxes. At the bottom of that list of checkboxes is one that says Calculate all sizes. Check that one and then command ~ to jump back to your list view of the hard drive and there will be a Size column. Usually for folders the size is just "--" but the Mac will start totaling up all the files and replace those "--" with actual numbers. You can then start to focus on the folders with the most space used and start to drill down to figure out what's using the most space. The Calculate all sizes beats on your hard drive making (ad updating) all those totals so when you're done you'll want to turn that back off. My Applications folder is 71GB while my OSX 10.10.4 system is only 11GB. I would expect the bulk of the deletable stuff to be either apps you no longer need or stuff under Users/youraccountnamefolder.

If you open the trash, is there still anything in it?

Hi everyone,
I’ve just noticed the usage on my Mac HD is getting more full than I like.
I’ve just deleted several gigs of data, and I am not seeing the space freed up 
like I expected. Only a couple hundred megs freed up. I have emptied the trash, 
and am not sure what I need to do to see this newly emptied space.
I’ve even restarted the Mac to see if something was hanging.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
