[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1407085, member: 131855"] @cheddar-caveman are you by chance running Lion and have been using Time machine? If so you may be seeing some of your drive space consumed by Time Machine backups that have been stored on the internal drive when it cannot locate your external drive. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878]OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs[/url]. These locally stored backup files are supposed to be cleared out as drive space gets low but it's possible that may not be happening. [/QUOTE]
