[QUOTE="wrenrj1, post: 1631119, member: 340719"] Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I look forward to being a part of this community. I have a late 2009 iMac that I upgraded to Yosemite a couple months ago. I've had several problems with OEM apps not working etc. and a lack of memory (RAM) for some reason as I had 8GB. Anyway, my most recent problem has been a sudden increase in, or lack there of, hard drive space. Literally over night 100GB nearly appeared and almost maxed out my 500GB HD. I've used "Disk Doctor" to analyze and remove stuff from my HD and I am now about 35GB from the max. I've also used a couple of "disk analysis" apps and have done some rough calculations that show I have about 120GB occupied on my HD, no where near the number that Disk Doctor is showing. I'm trying to find out what is cluttering up my HD but haven't had any success. The only thing I've recently done (in the last few days) is increase my RAM from 8GB to 16GB. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
