Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

I did get this resolved, I used a terminal command which allowed me to get underneath the admin account. Was able to recover approximately 30gb. Thanks for asking. > On Aug 28, 2015, at 2:39 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Didn't notice if

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

Didn't notice if you got this resolved. Sounds like some weirdness on the drive. Have you tried the usual bit of rebooting your machine into the recovery partition and doing both repair permissions and repair disk? Often times this clears up things that just shouldn't be when it comes to

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

Something is definitely up, I’ve just deleted another 3 gb of apps from my apps folder, cleared trash, and ran Disk Doctor. Still shows 17.28gb as the size of the apps folder. Ideas welcome, meantime I keep googling. On Jul 31, 2015, at 1:20 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

Sorry to keep spamming the list, but I’ve discovered something else now. When I go to my HD and do command i for information, interact with the scroll area, and it shows 74gb available, and only 45.91gb used. What is going on? Thanks for helping guys. On Jul 31, 2015, at 1:20 PM, 'Chris

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

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

reclaiming space on hard drive

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

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive

Ok, so I’ve downloaded and ran “Disk Doctor” as suggested by a lister. I’ve also enabled “calculate all sizes” and my applications folder is 17.28gb, Libraries is 5.17gb, system folder is 9.81gb, and my users folder is 17.43gb. Total space used should be down around 50gb, any ideas guys/gals?

Re: reclaiming space on hard drive
