Hello everybody,

I hope some of you bright macs can help me out with this. I was recently browsing my mac and I noticed that my documents folder in user/documents was too big in size (11.5 Gb).

Since I don't remember having anything that big in there I went in, selected all my files and folders, did a cmd-alt-i (info) and it tells me they all weigh 3.31 Gb. But if I choose the folder and get info, it indeed is 11.5 Gb.

Where do those extra 8 Gb come from?

Trash can is empty.

I am really puzzled.

Thanks!
