Im sure this is posted elsewhere on the forums but I cant find it so I hope you guys can help.
How do I view exactly how much room is remaining on my hard drive and how much room files are taking up.
Thanks to all that can help :mac:

If you go to applications, utilities, disk utility and click on the device you are interested in from the left hand column it will show how big the device is, how many files and how much space is being used/left.

If its indiviual files or folders, then highlight and ctrl click and select get info, this will show the size as well as other info.

Hope this helps

The space remaining on a disk is displayed in bottom of your Finder window. Alternatively you can access view options ,Cmd+J, in the Finder which give you a host of other variables. You can set your machine to show info like this too.

Whatsize is a useful tool that can show which files/folders are taking up the most space on your harddrive.
