Hard Drive Space Dissapearng After Every DVD burn

I keep having this problem with FCP Studio applications where large sections of my hard drive space just keep vanishing when Im doing some work on it.
Now every time I burn a DVD I seem to be losing more space on my hard drive, and I mean several GIGS at a time. Whats the deal?

Hi:
Take a look to Disk Inventory X, a little application very useful for finding disc space eater files.
It shows a graphic representation of your drive/folder with color clasification, i.e. all your VIDEO_TS folders will appear same color.

  • Hard drive space disappeared after starting to us iDisk

    Before I started using iDisk I had about 80 G of hard drive space. Now I have 7 G!
    I have followed other threads and I have checked the Volumes folder and find my home folder there, the iDisk and my external drive.
    If I try to delete any of them I get a message that says I don't have the permissions.
    I have decided to trash iDisk. How do I get rid of it and get my drive sapce back?
    Help!

    the default on my iMac was to auto-back the Macintosh HD to iDisk daily. Well, the HD had about 57 Gb of stuff on it, and the iDisk allows a max of 1 Gb, and even if you pay more, you can only get up to 4 Gb. So, the program copied to the iDisk icon on my desktop. Lost 57 Gb of space ovennight. Finally found out that its a good thing to back up (to your online iDisk acct) a few things that you want to keep. I had a tech walk me through. First, if everything is still as it was on your HD, delete the copied HD from the iDisk desktop icon. Then, you can either DL huge files (like your whole HD to some disks, or in my case, I had a freestanding 100 Gb harddrive, so I used it for the target, and backed up EVERYTHING. Now when I perform a backup, it doesn't add much-just whats new or changed.

  • Missing Hard Drive Space Returns after restart

    I lose about a Gig of space on the hard drive, when I restart I gain the Gig back. Any thoughts?
    Felix

    Felix--
    You've got half a Gig of swap files there in less than 8 hours. That seems like a lot to me.
    You get swap files when the task you've asked of the computer is too big for the RAM you have installed. The OS will take memory that it needs, but hasn't used in a while, and write it out to the hard drive. That way, it can use the RAM, which is much faster, for the new task. When the OS needs the data it paged out to the hard disk, it has to read that back into memory.
    You'll always have at least one swap file, the 64MB one called "swapfile0". But if regularly see more than that, I'd suggest you look into buying more RAM if you can. It'll speed up your computer and take some stress off the hard drive.

  • Hard drive space unaffected after deleting huge user

    I deleted a user, I selected the option to have their home folder removed, and apparently the content is still on my computer. My account uses 75 GB of data, of the 250 GB drive, yet disk utility says I only have 90 GB of free space. I am using Yosemite on a 2013 macbook pro retina. I tried to find the home folder of the user, and could not find it under Computer-->Users. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Those are "expendable" snapshots created when your Time Machine drive is unavailable. If you connect your Time Machine drive and let it work they will be removed automatically.
    If you run low on space before Time Machine can run again, they will begin to be discarded to give you the space you need.

  • Missing hard drive space after aborted attempt at sharing iMovie project with YouTube

    So, recently I tried sharing an iMovie project with YouTube.  I clicked on the project in my project library, then selected share with YouTube from the drop down menu.  I chose to share it as a HD 720 project.  At this point, I had 27 GB of free hard drive space. After the project was converted (or whatever it's called, a process which took about half an hour, and which left me with about 6.5 GB of hard drive space), but before the project was actually exported or shared with or uploaded or published to YouTube (the second step), I saw that it was going to take three hours to upload, so I decided I wanted to share it as a non-HD video, in order to save time and space on my HD.  I cancelled the upload.  I then deleted the project in my imovie projects folder (since it now had the HD logo beside the name), intending to just start over and share the project in 960x540.  Thing is, after deleting every trace of it I could find in iMovie, in my Documents Folder, in my Movies folder, and in iTunes, I only reclaimed 4 GB of space on my hard drive (leaving me with 10 GB).  So what happened to the missing 17 GBs, and how can I get them back?  Also, the amount of space used in order to share that project just seems excessive to me, so I realize that something else might be going on here.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Comments?
    Thanks.

    You're in the wrong forum.

  • Disappearing Hard Drive Space After Yosemite Update

    After installing OS X Yosemite my hard drive space has dwindled to basically nothing, rendering my computer useless.  I had at least 50 gb (maybe more) of hard drive space before updating from mavericks to yosemite.  Now, after using my computer for 30 mins or less I get an error message saying that my storage space is low. After a restart I will get about 600 mb of storage but then the cycle repeats.  Since I have upgraded to Yosemite I have not saved or downloaded any large files but there is a significant amount of storage space (104 gb) used in the other category.  It is not consistent with my usage. I initially had file vault encryption turned on but I thought maybe that was the cause of my disappearing hard drive space so I turned file encryption off and still no luck.
    Please Help!

    You are too low on drive space for iDVD to run properly. It is recommended that you try to have about 15-20 GB free for the application to run. See if you can delete anything to free up more space. Or, move more of your files to your external drive. iDVD needs to be on your computer's drive, so don't move it, or any of the iLife applications to your external drive.
    You can create iMovies on an external drive, move your entire iPhoto and iTunes libraries to external drives, but I find iDVD works better if I create its projects on my main drive. I save all of my iDVD projects as disk image files and then move those files to my external drive for saving my projects. This allows me to delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie project used in it, which gives more free space on my drives.

  • How to Reclaim Hard Drive Space

    Hi there,
    I have deleted several GB of messages, folder by folder from Entourage as I have the complete set in Mail. However, I had restarted my iMac and there seems to be too small amount of hard drive space available after this delete has been completed. I don't see anything left in the Entourage folders, nor in the Trash on the dock. So, where else can I check to reclaim the hard drive space? I'm currently showing 140 GB and there should be around 155 GB free.
    Advice much appreciated. Thank you!
    Lynn

    Have a look at this article* I wrote:

    Hope you are able to find your lost space.

  • Rapidly decreasing hard-drive space after upgrading to snow leopard

    So... recently upgraded to SL on my just over 1 year old MBP. No problems at first, but now acting really... odd...
    When I first upgraded I had moved a bunch of files over to an external drive to have enough hard drive space. Had 11GB open when I upgraded, up to 23GB after the upgrade. Then, the other night, I suddenly get a "your startup disk is full" message. I was shocked. Checked and sure enough, had something like 270KB open. I had not saved any new files on the hard drive since I upgraded. Right after I got this message my computer spazzed out and I got a "you must restart your computer" message. Did, and afterwords had 7GB of free space on my hard drive. Don't know what happened to my 23 from a few days prior...
    Since then, I have gotten the "your startup disk is full" message several times. When I check, I have everything from 3GB to 0KB of free space. Usually a restart solves the problem for a few hours, but then it pops up again. (In fact, as I wrote that, the message popped up on my screen once again... when I started this post I had 500-something KB free. Currently have 257KB free... again... no files saved/downloaded in the past few days...)
    I've never had a problem like this before, and this is BEYOND annoying at this point... considering I've lost all the free space I freed up BEFORE I even upgraded, not to mention the extra space I was supposed to get by upgrading in the first place... plus I've had to restart my computer 5-6 times over the past 2 days, which is more than I've had to do it in the year that I've owned it...
    anyone else having similar problems? Any ideas as to what might be going on??

    So I'm having the same problem. I was converting songs in iTunes and browsing the web in Safari with a few torrents running in the background with Transmission. All the sudden the computer started hanging and I decided to restarted. After the restart, the Apple logo showed on the grey startup screen with a white progress bar (looked like a firmware update). When it completed and booted to the login screen I got a prompt that my startup disk was full and to delete some files. I know this can't be right because I had about 50GB free on my startup disk. Then after restart I noticed that the drive was fluctuating a lot! It first said I had ~250MB free, then jumped to 698 - 769MB!
    I'm attempting a Snow Leopard install DVD startup and Disk Utility fix for repair and permissions. I really hope my HDD hasn't decided to randomly crap out. :-/

  • After installing Lion, I gained over 200gb of hard drive space

    I installed lion from the app store. After booting up and checking on what programs were incompatible (2 very small applications) I checked my hard drive space because when I started I had about 20gb of space. After the install of Lion, now I have 247gb free... that seems like a lot of space to just dissapear? Other than that, things are running fine. Is this normal?

    'nuff said. It's from crashes or poor cleanup of photoshop's undo cache. Perform 1 action on a 20 meg file and PS now maintains three copies of your file. One is the original. Another is the working copy. Those two will always be present in a PS session. Each time you perform an action, the working copy is copied to the undo cache. Every other action makes another copy of the working file. If memory serves, saving the file should empty the undo cache. If PS crashes before it empties the cache, you get deadweight on the drive.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • Missing hard drive space after failed migration assistant transfer

    When I first got my 13" macbook pro (about a month ago), I attempted to use Migration Assistant to move my files from my old 15" MBP. After starting the transfer, my old MBP locked up (or so I thought) & I had to quit the process. When I looked to see if anything transfered to the 13", I couldn't find anything, but there was hard drive space, maybe about 15 GB, missing. I looked everywhere I knew to look, in all folders all over my computer but came up emptyhanded. Although I've been using macs for years, I have little knowledge of all the inner workings/hidden files, etc. so I've reached the end of my abilities. I've searched all over & have been unable to find an answer. I had originally decided to just let it go & deal with a few missing gigabytes, but I just have to know what's going on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Problem solved! Ran Disk Utility not in recover mode again, and it identified that the logical size wasn't right. Repair Disk while logged in - and at the upper level "Macintosh HD" on the left sidebar - fixed the issue, and I'm going to not attempt to run Boot Camp again for a while just in case :-p

  • Insufficient Hard Drive Space in Windows 7 after upgrading from XP Bootcamp

    I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 via bootcamp with success; however, I find the hard drive space diminished. I originally had 32gb partition for xp and continued to use that allocation space since my macbook pro has about only 120 gb total space. I never checked how much space I had from the beginning but now after I installed several applications such as norton, skype, yahoo messenger, etc., I have about 1 gb left free looking at "my computer". I've looked around and found that the minimal requirement for windows 7 is 16 gb. That does not make sense that I have 32 gb and am now left with just 1 gb with just basic programs installed and I do mean basic; no huge programs since I just use my mac as a "leisure" laptop. Please help! I tried googling and looking for answers in discussion boards and can't find an answer.

    I don't ever recall seeing 16GB in all my reading. Okay, yes for 32-bit but that really seems... misleading unless Home Basic.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/system-requirements.aspx
    As for how large, depends on a number of things like how much RAM, page file, hibernation, temp files, etc. More for 64-bit than 32-bit. The amount needed for rollback drivers, restore points, should also be taken into account. Thumbnails and cache, too.
    I use 64-bit version, consumes 65GB, and I really don't have much, and all my data, installers and updaters and such are kept on another hard drive, not the system drive.
    At least you can't normally "upgrade" from XP to 7, you have to do a custom clean install so you shouldn't have anything left behind or in Windows.old
    I wouldn't install Norton. MSSE is fine, all you need (I did use beta's of Norton 360 v.3 and others too).

  • Hard drive space after PC conversion

    I recently made the switch from PC to mac and everything has been great. However, with my 80 gig hard drive space, I only have about 9 gigs left despite the fact that I've only used 15 gigs for music and 8 gigs for pictures.
    Even allowing all the programs and peripherals 1 gig of space, where is the rest of my hard drive? I suspect that something happened when moving the files over from my PC (I had to do it via DVD discs because my PC melted), but how do I fix this?

    I suspect that what has happened is the following:
    You copied say, a DVD of music to somewhere on your hard drive. you then told iTunes either "Add to Library" or "Find music files on my hard drive" (the latter is a choice you only see when setting up iTunes for the first time)
    What happened? iTunes copied the music to the folder - "your user name/Music/iTunes Music".
    This is where iTunes looks for its tracks and is the important one. There is probably another folder - the one you copied from the DVD, still hanging around on your drive - it can be deleted.
    iPhoto works in a similar way - it also has a copy to library function. The important file in this case is in your user name/Pictures/iPhoto Library.
    When you got your mini it was also fully loaded with software at the factory. There are a number of items that you most likely do not need.
    For instance, Mac OS X is accompanied by dozens of printer drivers, about 800 MB in all. If like most people, you only have one printer, they are just taking space. The drivers are in Macintosh HD/Library/Printers. Delete them and install the driver that came with your printer.
    Mac Applications also come with loads of language files that you probably do not need either. You can download a free utility called Monolingual from versiontracker.com which will remove the unwanted language files. I save around 1.8 GB doing this.
    Important: if your preferred language is not English you must retain it as well as the one you want. English is used by the operating system.
    Removing the others will not prevent you from writing or checking spelling in a language that is no longer on your computer.

  • Hard drive space, every second another MBytes the dust

    So, I just updated to 10.5.5, and seem to be having some problems with a really wierd bug. I run a gen 1 MacBook, 1Ghz CoreDuo with 2Gb Rab and 60Gb hard drive. Upon start up my hard drive reads at 4.6 Gb available, however, for every second the machine is active I seem to lose space. I thought it might be swap space, but what doesn't make any sense is that in the last five minutes the only programs I've had running are Safari, iTunes and an open Finder window. Activity Monitor is listing Memory at 1.36 Gb Free, yet I my hard drive space dissappers faster and faster with the more applications I start running, even though I haven't yet gotten my physical memory maxed out, there is always atleast 100 Mb of Free memory, any ideas? Is this a known bug in 10.5.5? Thanks for any help

    Just a couple of things. Running a machine with less than 10-20% free space is courting disaster since OS X uses free disk space for virtual memory to augment physical memory (RAM). Activity Monitor should show you how much disk space is allocated to vm. Your only good solution, IMO, is to off-load about 10-15 GB of data from your boot volume and run the machine with ample free space.
