[QUOTE="novicew, post: 403451, member: 14781"] Have you installed the security updates? If not, it could also be due to general system behavior. When OS X is running it will keep updating logs, and cache (Kernal cache, System cache, etc.,), which will accumulate over time. I would suggest you to download [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx.html]Onyx[/url] and do a complete cleanup. You should also aware that the OS X is also using certain amount of hardware space for the virtual memory (5 to 10 GB). This is dynamically allocated and the amount depends on number of processes running at a given time. You can use [url=http://www.derlien.com/]Disk Inventory X[/url] to find out where all the space is gone. [/QUOTE]
