[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1311262, member: 24160"] First - get out of duplicates - I cannot impress upon you enough that you shouldn't be doing anything in there until you are familiar with and know much more about OS X. WhatSize will show you "everything" - including all hidden/system files/folders on your machine. [B]Don't' do anything in there.[/B] All we're trying to do is find out where/what the big chunk of data is taking up the space on your drive. We're not trying to delete/move anything - not yet. Go back and click on Browser and follow the largest folder size down to find out what's taking up the space. Ex. - on the following - it's Users - then my home folder - then my music that's taking up 121 GB of space.

It is clearly indicating - 999 GB capacity - 815 used and 183 free. [IMG]https://img.skitch.com/20111016-pudwsb98qy1cqyb41xpqb87b6u.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
