After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Also are you running crons or Mac janitor? And space is sometimes recovered on each log off, if you log off then back on see if space is recovered. Hard drives don't erase the data of deleted files, they mark the data as unwanted/used and eventually over write it</blockquote>
