Afternoon All,

I see to have a macbook that is enjoying eating space!!!

Last weekend I had over 60gb free on my HD, now today, three days later it is showing only 23Gb free? :eek:

Whats going on? Is there any tools to check this out, and reclaim my space?

Before its asked, no I have not downloaded or installed anything of significance...... :Smirk:

Hope someone can help :)

Thanks

Rich

download the program whatsize, and it will scan your HD and show you what is taking up space.

I had this happen to me. I was running iMovie, creating a video, but every effect I "trashed" in imovie got stored (in imovie trash can)... I didn't know the trash in imovie needs to be "emptied" and I went from 120 gigs to 600 megs!!! YIKES!! AFter emptying both trash cans, and rebooting a few times, the issue was resolved. So if you're doing anything as such with trash cans and you're SURE you want them tossed out... empty it.
