[QUOTE="jhawkinsvalrico, post: 1744636, member: 388026"] This morning when I logged onto my system I was warned that the startup disk was running low on space. This is a MacBook Pro running Sierra 10.12.2 that has a 1TB SSD drive. I know that yesterday when I logged off of the system it had well over 300 GB of free space and I was not running anything that should have consumed disk of the internal drive. I do have several scheduled ChronoSync tasks that run overnight that backup data to external USB drives, but nothing else should have been running. I ran cleanmymac and searched for used disk space, but that freed up about 50GB. The system reports that 599.96 GB is being used by System. [ATTACH=FULL]25684[/ATTACH] Where do I begin looking to clean up space and to determine what consumed all of the disk space? Thank you for any suggestions, John [/QUOTE]
