Startup Disk Full
Hi All, My iMac G5 with 150GB hard disk has produced a warning this morning that the startup disk is nearly full. I have run Whatsize on my HD and it confirms this but in the detail it only shows a total of 70Gb being used where has the other 80GB gone and how can I find out?

Re: Startup Disk Full
My Apologies.. I have found that my Maxtor external hard disk had created duplicate volumes on my iMac HD and therefore used up all the HD space. Phew. D.

Re: Startup Disk Full
Hi David, Glad you found what was taking up your HD, I was going to suggest duplicate backups. I had this happen realised I had Déjà Vu keeping too many Archives of my backups on my Internal Drive. Also it's good to run Maintenance Tasks regularly using an application like Macjanitor? It clears out log files etc which can take up lots of space. Sometimes Console Log files can take up heaps of GB's. http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/TigerMisc.html http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html Cheers, Ronni On 18/10/2007, at 6:40 AM, David Wood wrote: My Apologies..
