[QUOTE="SFLonghorn, post: 1579054, member: 324806"] I don't see how I could have used 1.4TB of space on this drive. I have Time Machine setup to save backups on an external drive (which is not attached at the moment). Is it possible the guys at the Apple Store originally setup Time Machine to backup on the internal drive and that's what's taking up so much space? If so, how can I check? I probably don't have more than 300GB of pictures and music stored on this computer. I don't have movies/video stored. Probably 50GB of other files besides the OS and Apps. If somebody has a quick answer of how to figure out what is taking up so much space, that would be great. Otherwise, it will just remain a mystery or which I can live with. Thanks [ATTACH=full]20428[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
