[QUOTE="Sexy Patrol, post: 615000, member: 14992"] I added up the sizes of all the folders and subtracted the total from the 111GB of total space estimated by the computer. And I'd assume it's reasonably accurate since Apple makes a point of noting on their site that the actual formatted space of their drives is less then advertised for their machines. And I have not yet installed FCP on my MacBook Pro. So no, I'm not running any Pro software yet, and I've been running Leopard on it since I bought it in November. My trash is emptied, I ran Cocktail and had it empty all of my system, user and internet caches etc etc. I managed to free up about 8 gigs so now I'm in the neighborhood of about 20 but I feel like I should have 40-50 free. Nope, no partitions here. 100% Mac baby. [/QUOTE]
