Partition is full, but theres plenty of space?

I have a 100GB partition dedicated to photographs,
When i show info on the partition, it says I've used 95GB.
But; the photography folder merely contains 20gb. The three other folders are a couple of megabytes each.
What's taking up all the space?
Macbook Pro, early 2011
750gb 5200rpm
8gb ram

Have you emptied trash?
Download OmniDiskSweeper (free) from the Internet and open it to scan that partition.  It should show you exactly what files you have on that partition and the respective sizes.
Ciao.

    You'll have to connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore
    After that follow this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    I think here is the post you reffering  Curve 9360 keeps running out of memory no matter how much I delete!

There has to be some way to delete all thse trash or cache files, whatever they're called. 
    What is size of your Media Card ? 
    If this happening within Media Card then first do a Backup of your Media Card then format your Memory Card from within your Device Or using a PC. To format your Memory Card  from within your device Go to Options > Device > Storage > On that Screen Press the Menu Key > Hit on Format .
    In addition be sure that you have enabled Media Card Support , Homescreen > Options > Device > Storage > Be sure that Media Card Support is Marked or Ticked .
    Try it and see if that help.

    Hi, I am trying to register my iPhone 4S on iTunes registration page on my computer. It says I need to include my postcode with my address, but there is no space to include the postcode?? I am confused. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance. regards Cheryl

    If any of the music files didn't come from Apple, then you will need to seek the advice of another Mac website, like MacRumors or Apple Insider, to inquire about the latest third party software that can place ALL the files back onto the Mac.
    Supposedly there is a way to reverse only iTunes purchased music back onto a Mac, it excludes the music from other sources.

  • Memory problem, but there is enough space - virus? pls help!

    Since yesterday I am unable to download anyfile, I always get a message saying that there is not enough free disk space, but I happen to have 3GB space still left. I can't save any textedit document, it takes forever to reboot and when I connect my usb external harddrive it is not recognized. moreover skype refuses to start. The internet also got slower and when I have more windows open the task manager shows up and asks me to close down some applications. Strange thing I refused to update last week when the message poped up and when I opened the update today it said that there was nothing to upadate.
    What is happening? Is it a RAM problem? or have I got a virus on the board? I really need to work on my computer and seems to me, that I can't eve backup now. I am very grateful for any suggestions.

    Your Mac needs adequate hard drive space to operate normally. How full can a drive be before it's too full? There is no hard and fast rule that says “X” amount or “%” of free drive space is needed. A low amount of RAM requires more drive space for Virtual Memory’s swap files. As a general rule, your available space should be 5GB as an absolute minimum as it generally requires that much free space to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X and still preserve some free space for VM swap files. How much RAM do you have? With only 3GB of free space, you may have corrupted some of the files on your hard drive.

  • Macbook says disc is full, but there's no way that's possible.

    Hey there,
    I have a MBP Retina, mid-2012, with 710GB of hard drive space.
    Somehow, I only have 1GB left, although there is just no way that's possible!
    MacKeeper says I'm only using 350GB, and my system profiler is reporting 373GB being used, with 333GB being reported as "other".
    (I should note that I have partitioned my HD, so there's a seperate disc taking up 40GB that I only use for Windows).
    Does anyone have any idea what "other" may be?
    Please help!

    Ugggh,  uninstall that program.  There are 1000 threads on this forum about that garbageware.

  • I'm trying to update my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1 but there is no space to backup on drive C so i can't continue updating via itunes

    iTunes requires about 11 GB space when there is only 500 MB free on local disk C and its all windows stuff i can't delete. how can i update ?
    my current IOS is 4.3.3
    thanks

    You can't, you need to offload some of your Windows stuff, or possibly look into getting a remote hard drive to copy some of your content. Bottom line, if all you have is 500MB of free disk space then you need to free up some space or get more.
    Good Luck!

  • Hard driving showing full, but only half the space is used

    iMac mid 2011 with 1 TB internal drive
    It is being reported I only have 70gb of space left.  From looking at my files, I know I have used about 465gb, I scanned my computer using Omni Disksweep and I could not find anything that appears to be bloating the number to almost double my use.  My timemachine backups were to an external drive, so I don;t think that could be the issue.  How can I determine what is using the other 400+ GB of space?

    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. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • IDisk full- but there is no actual content. Bug?

    I've got a bit of a problem with my MobileMe iDisk account, as iWeb is saying that the disk is full, despite iWeb pages having little or no content. Has anyone elso noticed this?
    Basically if I click on my header on the left of the window, which brings up the account information, the iDisk bar at the bottom of the screen is saying that the disk is full. I have several pages made ready for adding pictures to (empty pages), but the indicator is telling me that I have gone over my limit. Could it be that iWeb doesn't actually measure size on content, but instead how many pages have been created? If so, isn't that rather silly?
    Bug perhaps? Anyone else noticed this?

    Tom ~ In the upper right of this forum's main page is a +Search Forum+ bar. Enter the following into it:

  • Macintosh HD, two different "Available" numbers given? One full one with plenty of space.

    My macbook pro has been acting slow and I stumbled on this in the Disk Utility. Of the two hard drive icons, the top one says 18.9 mb available whereas the one under it and in About This Mac give the number 187 gb. Any clue what is causing this? Not sure if this could be the cause of my mac's slow performance.

    The second one is correct.

  • Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but that's not true?

    Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but there should be plenty of space on it?

    You need to get a program like OmniDiskSweeper,  it will check your drive and see what is taking up the space.  From there you can decide what to do.
