[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 797916, member: 33722"] Only thought here is that I had an update to Parallels that asked me to back up the whole 15 GB VM before the update in case it failed. I hit the defaults without really paying attention. Result was a file called /users/Shared/Parallels/hostname (Backup) on my HDD. I deleted it and was able to get the 15GB back. Perhaps your system created a backup before the update and stuck it somewhere not so obvious. Maybe look around in Spotlight using the date you updated and see if anything big suddenly appeared? Another thought is that perhaps "hibernate" is enabled in Windows and that is eating up a ton of space? Just some ideas... Good luck! -Dave [/QUOTE]
