[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1486842, member: 38928"] You could try Grand Perspective instead. The sleep image is just that. The storage used to dump the contents of you're working memory when your Mac sleeps. It should be roughly the size of your RAM but it can grow over time. You can delete it from terminal with this: sudo rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage It'll be recreated but not at 17gb [/QUOTE]
