[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1638521, member: 24160"] See chscag's post (#10) above - turn off the local backups and you may find most of the "Other" disappears. Need to keep that command handy - because "everytime" you get a system update. Those local backups are re-enabled. If you really want to see what all is taking up space on the drive, still have to recommend [URL="http://whatsizemac.com"]WhatSize[/URL] as the premier app for this - it can be run in Admin mode vs User mode and will show you those local backups and other stuff some of the others won't.

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
