Missing Gigabytes of reported hardrive space

I have a 80gb hard drive. When Partitioned and Formatted it says I have 74.4gb of hard drive space. Fine That is about normal you lose about 10%.
When I double click on the hard drive icon and let the system calculate all sizes for folders and files, and add up the total I get about 41gb of files. The system says I have 10gb left. If the useable drive space is 74.4 and I list 41gb used plus 10gb left over, where did the other 23.4 gb go?

Thank you Francine for the help you provided in directing me to that discussion. It was very helpful and it let me do a more complete examination of the hard drive in question.
In the end what I found was three separate problems. The first was 3 .zip files that totaled approx 20gb of space. They were visable in the folder but did not get added into the total for the folders size when viewing it through the GUI. But when examined through terminal the proper size was show. I actually did not need them so I deleted them.
The next was 9GB of music files that did not get added into the total of a folder. Running disk verify seemed to clear that up.
Finally was about 2gb of folders/files that showed up in /Volumes A hard drive that used to be attached via firewire left some files behind. that drive does not exist anymore so I deleted the files.
Now everything seems to be back and stable.
Thanks again

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • Fields missing in MPD report after change to structure and program

    I have been working on a consistency report for transaction MPD.
    I had created a structure in SE11 for handling the data.  it was all working, but then i had to go and change the name of the fields in the structure.  Now those fields are missing from the report. 
    When i step through the debugger, all the fields are being populated correctly, but these fields are not displayed on screen.  if i change the field names back in the structure and change the code for populating these fields, they appear okay.
    i have created a custom implementation within BAdi MPD_WKB_REPORTING. 
    i have checked the config and it all points to my Z Structure and Z Table Type.  I have logged off and logged back on!  made sure my code is saved and activated...
    any ideas on how i can display these new fields names/values?
    Just for clarity, the field name has changed. not the linked data type.

    thanks for your response, however those notes and program have not done anything to assist my issue.
    i have found the anwser now!
    within the BAdi was a method i had to amend:  IF_EX_MPD_WKB_REPORTING~GET_ALV_PARAMETERS 
    all fixed now!

  • I am missing "Warped Effects within my Space Designer.  Please help!!!

    I downloaded Logic Pro 9 off app store and it appears that I am missing "Warped Effects" within my space designer.  My friend is running exact same version of Logic Pro 9 and has this setting.  I do not understand why this setting is not present on my Logic.  I have downloaded all additional content besides the Jam Packs.  Please help me!!!  I really need the Warped Effects.  I do not understand how my download ended up without them.  Thanks.

    Have you double checked to make sure ALL the additional content was correctly downlaoded and installed by going back to Download Additional Ciontent and checking each of the items by clicking on each of the little Disclosure Triangles...and making sure they all say Installed?
    Alternatively you can simply click on the "Select All Uninstalled" button in the bottom left hand corner of the  "Downlaod Addtional Content' window and then click the Install button in the bottom right hand corner.. if it will allow you to.

  • Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

    Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
    my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
    this ?

    Is there a way I can stop
    this ?
    No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
    See this link:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

  • Missing characteristics in report

    Hi,
    We recently upgraded our system from 3.5 to 7.0 and found out that one characteristic 0vtype is missing in the report after the upgrade but the data content is the same.

  • Grids are missed in Hyperion reports

    Hi Hyperion Report developers,
    Could you please give me a solution to following issue,which is happened in hyperion financiial reporting studio.
    I have created a one report with 6 grids and 2 charts.After i created the report iam able to see all grids except one grid which is missed.I understood that grid is existed in report and and it is not deleted from the report.How can i see the particular missing grid in report .Is there any soultion to find out?
    Please let me know,if you need any further information regard this.
    Regards,
    Ram

    This is my personal opinion. This is a software, written by software developers. It might be a bug. I don't think I would pursue it after 20 days. Rather create my new grid..
    But, you could have a different opinion and might like to pursue it. Did you open a SR with Oracle?
    Cheers

  • Missing letters when report ist printed

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Crystal Reports XI R2
    We use it with a Visual Basic 6 application.
    Sometimes, not always some letters are missing or cutted like:
    "Hello World" -> "He  o Wo ld"
    Or an "U" is only printed like "u" or just lower bow "_"
    Or on "Seite" the dot from "i" is missing
    Summary:

    Different Printer (HP Laserjet, Virtual Printer from "Filedirector")
    hopefully someone knows a solution

    Hello, thanks for your tips
    I will try one after another.
    I have downloaded SP3 from the directlink above.
    I have found SP2 here-> https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-downloads
    But I cannot find SP1 until now. The login on http://service.sap.com/bosap-support
    doesnt work with the Forum Login (!?) So I have to call the german SAP support for that.
    I will give a few more details that might be interesting
    We used CR8 in our Application. Now with new Computers there were problems with printing to a virtual network printer. CR8 hangs unreproduceable. So we upgraded to CRXI. Now its the test phase and the hanging CR did not appear anymore. But now we have the problem with the missing letters. Because I am new to CR and especially CRXI I just brought CR to work and did not install any SPs.
    Best Regards

  • Missing 1gb of hard disk space after upgrading to 2.5 gb of RAM

    I recently upgraded my Macbook to 2.5 GB RAM. I took out one 512 MB card and put in a 2 GB one, keeping the other 512 MB one in. After I booted up I noticed I was missing about a GB of space and it was running a bit slow, is this normal after changing RAM?

    Not really since VM increases if the demand for VM increases, not the amount of RAM installed. Regardless of the amount of installed RAM the VM file always begins at the same size on startup - 64 MBs with Tiger and Leopard; 128 MBs for earlier versions. If one never runs out of available RAM then the VM file will never change. So in reality the more RAM installed the less likely the VM file size will increase.

  • Missing 3 GB of HD space

    I'm doing some cleaning up on my boot partition when I noticed my available HD space is lower than what I expected after installing Leopard (i did a fresh install btw). so, i unhid all invisible items and fired multiple get item info on all files residing in the root and here's what i get:
    http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screen1gi1.png
    12.56 GB of files.. But when I tried to get info the HD it showed:
    http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screen2sa0.png
    15.07 GB used HD space. Clearly I was missing ~3 GB worth of space. I ran disk utility, fsck, even erased free space, deleted vm files (including sleep image) but still no dice. Any ideas folk? thanks.

    Try this:
    Launch Terminal from Applications -> Utilities
    type this command:
    sudo du -shx /
    you will need admin privileges to get an accurate count which is my guess as to why it seems you are missing 3GB. Your regular user account (even an admin) does not have permission to see all the files on the hard drive especially other users Home directories but many others as well. By using the sudo command you run as root which can always see everything all the time. If you need proof run the command without sudo and it will dump a bunch of permission denied errors.
    The command above will take a long time to finish depending on how much used space is on the disk.
    Good luck!

  • How do I find what taking up all my hardrive space on my mac mini running snow leopard ?

    How do I find what taking up all my hardrive space on my mac mini running snow leopard ?

    Hi Gibby,
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
    And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

  • Missing gigabytes on disk

    Hi All,
    I have problem with missing gigabytes (around 200gb) on disk on Windows Server 2008 Standard. I think it is caused by too many read/write process on it. I am using Smooth Streaming on my server, so it generates many write/read request. Problem dissapears
    when I make disk defrag.  Anyone knows why this happens or how to solve this ? 

    If you access DU from the Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility

  • Hardrive space missing?

    So i just got my laptop Repaired by hp and they shipped it to me, so i was downloading some files i needed to work on when i notice they my maxed hard drive space was not the same when i bought it or before i shipped it to hp for repairs right now my laptop before the repair had 750gb of hard drive space now it only has 433gb, i don't know what to do i feel like i been scammed or they took a piece of hardive out of my laptop 

    OK the recovery partition is "in the way" so you cannot just extend the C drive. The only way to just add the unallocated space would be to go ahead and make the recovery media (DVD or thumb drive) and then delete the recovery partition then you could extend the C drive to fill up the whole disk. You could also just create a new volume in the unallocated space, format it, assign it a drive letter and you could then use it for storage. You could move your Music, pictures or whatever to it.
