macos space calculations
i have an Ibook G4, running 10.4.10, when I do an apple-i on the HD icon it tells me that it is 53.84 GB used on 55.76 GB with 1.92 GB free. When i go to finder and view the HD as a list of folders with all sizes calculated the folders only add up to 15.315 GB, where is the rest of the data? I want to clean it up -- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Trash certainly helped, my son had 10GB in his trash can that brings it down to 47GB used, but the finder still says 15.3GB, are Cocktail or Yasu freeware?
