[QUOTE="xstep, post: 615174, member: 11647"] Open Terminal. At the command prompt type the following: sudo du -d 1 -c -k -h That will include a bunch of hidden stuff that the Finder doesn't see without a customization. I recommend disconnecting any external drives as those are also counted. If you do not, then substract the /Volumes sum from the grand total that appears at the bottom. In my case 622GB - 478GB = 144GB used with only 4GB remaining. There is a rounding error in this case by .52GB. And yes, I really only have 4GB remaining on my internal drive. [/QUOTE]
