[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1792893, member: 46727"] Hard drive space is not memory. It's space. :) Are you using Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner to make your backups? Both of those programs will store "Local Snapshots" on your SSD. And according to the image of your SSD you provided, it shows that you have 62.5 GB of purgeable space. Very likely the space is being taken up by those "Local Snapshots". Post back and let us know and we will tell you how to purge the snapshots and get your space back. [/QUOTE]
