#DISK INVENTORY X MAC DL INSTALL#
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer. If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. To see everything, you have to run it as root. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking it only sees files that you have permission to read. Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.ĭeleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:ĭo the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature.
I'm probably doing something wrong and missing something obvious as I'm a relatively new Mac user, but if anyone has any ideas before I do a new install then that would be very very appreciated! At the moment I have a shed load of gopro vids I want to edit but can't do that until I get some space to import them all!įor information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.Įmpty the Trash if you haven't already done so. All the Disk Utility stuff verified/repaired disk permissions etc. All the usual emptying of trash on Mac, iPhoto, iMovie etc.Ħ.
#DISK INVENTORY X MAC DL UPGRADE#
I've also been through and deleted a few recently installed apps that I thought might be causing issues (Final Cut, a rouge old version of iMovie that hadn't been removed on upgrade for some reason).ĥ. I've also downloaded Omni Disk Seeker to see if that showed different results, but it was largely the same as Disk Inventory X with its results.Ĥ. No sign of where the lost 100G could be coming from either:ģ. Downloaded DIsk Inventory X - this shows what I'd expect but doesn't seem to replicate what the Mac is telling me (most of the usages is the users folder images, videos etc.) Here's the output from that:
Turned off Time Machine - gained a little from this but need to really turn it back on again soon.Ģ. The laptop is only 6 months old and I haven't really pushed it yet! Things I've done:ġ. I know this is discussed all over the place, and I've been through the thread and done everything - but I still can't figure out what the **** is creating over 100G of "other" memory usage:
