[QUOTE="wrenrj1, post: 1632332, member: 340719"] Just happened again overnight. Last night I had 32GB available on my hard drive and today I have less than 1GB. I cannot open "About This Mac" to see where my storage is and have been getting the "Startup Disk is almost full message" I use an app called Disk Doctor which is how I found out the status of my hard drive. I am currently doing nightly back ups to my external hard drive which seems to be working however the iMac does continue to try to eject the HD when in sleep mode over night. I'm about at my wits end with this computer. I cannot figure out how to identify the "other" part of the storage that I've identified as taking up the majority of my HD. The only thing I did last night was download the Fitbit program to the tune of 27MB. ETA: I just checked Time Machine and it was OFF! If TM is storing backups on my HD, where would they be? [/QUOTE]
