Many users (including me) see Hard Disk space being filled up. On a 1 TB drive I'm down to about 140 GB, but eventually the message "Disk Full" will appear.
When I run SuperDuper to make an external USB bootable hard disk, the target shows all the disk space I expect (1TB less what is reported by GetInfo on the original drive).
MANY users report this problem.
Disk Repair - Not useful
Disk Inventory - shows same set of files on both drives. Does NOT show what's in the OTHER category.
SuperDuper mentions not copying files not needed, so is the only way to clean up this problem. Copy and make bootable an external drive. Boot to the external drive, SuperDuper back to the internal drive, and it works for a while until it starts filling up again.
APPLE tech support had no solutions that work. Is this an Operating System glitch/bug in their overall design? It comes up in all recent editions. I'm running Yosemite now.
Internal Drive is a Hybrid drive, some solid state and mostly standard hard disk type.
Use google and type in "macbook hard drive full for no reason" -- a huge problem for many.
