How to find out where my storage space is going?

So, I have had this MacBook Pro 2009 for the past year, and it has treated me fairly well, so far! I have a question about my Hard Drive Space:
I purchased my laptop with a 250 GB Hard Drive, so I understand that I should get just over 200 GB's of actual storage space. Now I look and it says I have just about 15 gigs remaining. I was absolutely amazed, as I don't feel that I have an excess of programs, music, videos, or anything else to take up all fo the room. I would like to do 2 things, if I could:
1- I would like to be able to find out exactly where my storage has gone. I realize that I could go through and click on every single file and folder, one by one, to see how big it is, but is there an easier way? For example, I would love to see how much space each of my programs are taking up, or see if maybe I have duplicate videos somewhere, etc. Is there an easy way to do this?
2- I have also noticed that, if I uninstall a program, there is usually something left over in my Libraries folder, and in other places. I'm wondering...is there some sort of a disc cleaner, that will delete unnecessary files, hidden things, stuff like that?
Thanks for any/all help! Any suggestions as to how I can free up space on my HDD would be great.

1. Disc Inventory X will show you what's using the space.
2. CleanMyMac will help you delete unwanted and left-over items.

    Are you interested in WDA messages ?
    The set a breakpoint in METHODS IN class CL_WDR_MESSAGE_MANAGER.
    Then use call stack (default desktop 2 in debugger) to see where message is added to message manager.

  • How to find out the unused disk space?

    Hi,
    I want to know if there is any way possible by which I can find out the amount of disk space that is available. I have to write an application that checks for the disk space under Windows and Unix platforms. If anything is possible please let me know as soon as possible.

    I know that there is no Java API for it. I tried using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c dir") method to find out the available disk space. But it returns the value through the InputStream which would have to be parsed to get the unused disk space value. If there is a way to write a shell script (for Unix / Linux) and a batch file (for Windows), please do let me know of the same. Also please let me know how to execute the script / batch. Awaiting your reply.

  • How to find out where an alias is defined

    How can I find out where an alias is defined on my system? I am referring to the kind of alias that is used within a Terminal session launched from Mac OS X (10.6.3).
    For example, if I enter the alias command with no parameters at a Terminal command prompt, I get a list of aliases that I have set, for example, this is one of them
    alias mysql='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql'
    However, I have searched all over my system using Spotlight and mdfind in various startup files and so far can not find where this alias has been defined ( I did it a long time ago and didn't write down where I assigned the alias).

    Thank you. I must have missed that before. It looks like the alias definitions in my case are in the file ~/.bash_profile.

  • How to find out where a value is stored

    Hi,
    i entered something in HR Area infotyp 0031, i expected to find those entries in table pa0031, but this table remains empty. How can i find out where sap stores those values?

    press F1 on the field where u typed the value. click on technical info and get the table and field name.
    in most cases it might be structure. either way, go to se11 and type the table/structure name and then search for the field name in that table.
    then dbl click on the data element and click on the where-used button.
    now select table entries and start looking for all the tables where the field is present. go to each table and check for the number of table entries and see if the value u entered has been caputred in that table or not.
    hope that helps.
    else u can revert back

  • HT201472 Is there any way how to find out where a particular device was when it last went online if longer than 24 hours ago?

    One Mac Book Air was stoilen frm me, I can still see it on Find my Iphone and can see that it has been renamed. The computer was offline for longer than 24 hours, so I am wondering if there is any way how I can find out it's last online location?

    No, you cannot find out where the computer has been. Find My Mac only shows you were the computer is right now if it is online.
    I strongly recommend you change all your internet passwords immediately, notify the police (do not try to recover your MBA yourself), and your insurance company so you can get reimbursed and buy a new Mac. Once you have done all this go back to Find My Mac and click the "Erase" button.

  • How to find out where my code is running

    Our software can run in EJB or Web Container. Based on its environment it does things differently, For example connection pooling, Transaction Management, etc. Problem is that I cannot figure out a way to make my software smart enough to find out where it is running. Its caller has to pass it a parameter telling it where it is running. I don't like it at all. Can someone please help me to understand what I can do give this functionality to my software i.e to figure out by itself if it is running in WEB container or EJB Container.

    Hi Anvesh,
    Maybe the data INSERTION is happening by BAPI,
    So just try to look for the concerned BAPIS.

  • How to find out where a table is used in the code ?

    I have a huge database, and I am adding a column to a table...
    is there a query to find out if this would impact the code ? I mean I want to find all the places in the code with
    insert into mytable, or update mytable.....
    how to include both insert into mytable, and update mytable in dba_source ?

    Use DBA_DEPENDENCIES:
    select owner,name,type from dba_dependencies where referenced_name = 'TABLE_NAME'
    and referenced_owner = 'TABLE_OWNER';For example:
    SQL> select owner,name,type from dba_dependencies where referenced_name = 'EMP'
      2  and referenced_owner = 'SCOTT';
    OWNER                          NAME                           TYPE
    PUBLIC                         TABLE1                         SYNONYM
    SCOTT                          SELECT_EMP                     PROCEDURE
    SCOTT                          EMP_DEPT_VW                    VIEW
    SCOTT                          PP                             SYNONYM
    SCOTT                          EMP_MV                         MATERIALIZED VIEW
    SCOTT                          EMP_VIEW                       VIEW
    6 rows selected.
    SQL> However, keep in mind DBA_DEPENDENCIES stores statis references only. If your code references table in question in dynamic SQL you will have to parse DBA_SOURCE and in some cases, even that will not give you all answers.
