Regain hard drive space after deleting partition

Hello all,
I had a lot of issues after updating to Snow Leopard so I ended up doing a clean install of SL rather than the update to fix all the issues. It works great now with no lag or any issues of the sort. However I was following a tutorial on how to do the clean install and it had me first partition the hard drive then install. Later I went to erase the old partition of the hard drive and now I cannot regain the space with the new partition. (P.S. sorry if I am not explaining this well.)
Here is a picture showing my issue. 30 gb of my hard drive is just greyed out and I cannot figure out how to recover that.
Thank you guys if you can help me resolve this!

I don't think you can without starting from scratch and re-partitioning the drive with 1 partition.
Had the unused space been at the bottom of the window, I understand you could have dragged the divider down to regain the space, however it doesn't work dragging the top up.

Missing hard drive space after bootcamp partition

After making a 60gb partition with Boot Camp Assistant, Bootcamp closed without error message (i assumed it was trying to restart but i had programs running). However now in disk utility or when i try to run the windows disc, there is no partition available even though the 500gb hard drive shows up as 420gb used and 18gb unused (and 499gb big).
I have tried repairing in disk utility on startup
i have reset the NVRAM or whatever it is called.
Can't run boot camp assistaint again because it says i require at least 10gb of space.
Can anyone help me finish the installation?

If done correctly it should not be necessary to reinstall anything, just restore the clone.
Buy 2 drives, a backup drive should be at least as large as the drive it is backing up, and yours is almost full at the moment.
My suggestion, clone your internal drive to an external, this is for restoration. The restoration can be done to any compatible drive so buy the biggest you can afford/fit.
Backup is another issue, if you choose Time Machine your existing internal drive will be too small to accommodate a 1Tb replacement drive for very long, but it's a start.
Choose what you wish to do, post back if you need assistance.

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. :-/

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.

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.

Regaining hard drive space

Hello,
I can't seem to find anything on this topic-I am trying to regain some hard drive space-upon review-I see that my library is holding 22.9 GB--of that 11.4 GB in a folder logs--of that 11.4 is used by console--how do I know what I can get rid of? I only have an 80 gig hard drive.-I also have 2 external HD-one is 500 gb and one is 200 gb. I do ALOT of movie/music/photoshop etc. I need all the space I can get-at the moment-it is time for me to get a new external hard drive-but in the mean time-would like to do a little house cleaning on my original HD. Can Anyone help?

I found this 'hint' attractive. I did CmdAlti on /Library (4.5GB) and /Library/Printers (1.3GB) ! I have rarely used printing from my PB G4, so i feel tempted to clean that up.
But before doing that, i would like to enquire what happens to "print to file(pdf)" if i delete these drivers ?
And secondly, is it possible to reinstall them later from the OS X Dvd ?

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

Amount of Hard Drive Space Recommended to Partition

I have 30 GB of open hard drive space, and I'm curious as to how much of that I should partition to install Windows XP.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
for Windows XP you should give at least 8-10GB of disk space to get it to run fine.
XP itself (system files and the swap-file (pagefile.sys)) take about 5GB of disk space.
Plus some room for system updates.
Add to that the amount of disk space the Windows programs and files take that you wanna use.
Please make sure that your OSX partition still has at least 10% of the OSX partition size as free space.
Otherwise you run into trouble with OSX.
Regards
Stefan

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.

Missing Hard Drive Space After Failed BC Partition

Hello everyone,
I was just trying to install Windows 7 on my iMac (Late 2013) using the Boot Camp Assistant, but the partition process froze, so I ended up quitting Boot Camp (I know, I know, bad idea).
Now, I seem to be missing about a TB of hard disk space, even though the partition I was trying to create was only about 350 GB. My 3TB Fusion Drive is now showing 1.91 TB of space total. Also - probably related - everything is showing up as "Other", even though it used to be broken up into Audio/Movies/Photos, etc.
I attempted to start into Recovery mode, repaired the disk permissions (there were few problems, if any) and repaired the disk itself (it said that the Mac was fine), and I've looked at Disk Utility both in and out of Recovery mode to see if there's missing space in the partition tab, but it looks like it's just not there.
Strangely, here it recognizes that the disk is 3.12 TB, but I can't adjust the partition size, even in Recovery mode. I tried running Boot Camp again to see if I could just do a quick Windows partition (20 GB) and restore the space, but I get the error that the disk can't be partitioned. I tried doing fsck in Single User mode and logging in with Safe Mode (where I am now), just to see if either would fix the issue - but no luck.
I do have Time Capsule (2TB) so my stuff is backed up, and fortunately my Mac seems to run fine in normal mode, but is there any way to reclaim the "lost" space, or do a system wipe just to get everything back where it should be? This is
Let me know if I can provide any further information, and I appreciate your help!

Disk space after deleting partition

Hello
I had partitioned my 500gb HD into two. One was used for osx (~400gb) and another ~60gb for Bootcamp to run windows.
After Yosemite the bootcamp had issues and I decided to erase that partition leaving me with this
The top Macintosh HD says 499 GB and the bottom HD says 400GB
My question is.... Is there a way to have bottom HD combine with the above? does it matter?

More clarification to the question
My Mac says I have 500GB but the Macintosh HD says I have 400gb (I'm assuming this is because I had partitioned the 500gb into 400/100) But I have since then deleted the 100gb but I can't see it. Where would this be?

Less hard drive space after Lion install

I have a macbook air with a 64 gig SSD, so storage space is at a premium. I seem to have about 10 gigs less space available after the Lion install. Was there files generated during the Lion install that I can delete, like a backup of the previous install, that would free up some of the lost HD space?

SOLVED!
When I ran whatsize as an admin, the first thing I noticed was a .MobileBackups directory chewing up 74GB of space. That reminded me of something I had glanced over quickly in John Siracusa's Lion review on arstechnica.com: http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars/18#mobile-time-ma chine
Basically if you are on a laptop, TimeMachine has a local NFS file server (the volume I saw called MobileBackups earlier) that continues to version everything while you are on the road. It appears to store that in a .MobileBackups directory on your primary HD until you plug in to TimeMachine again.
Well that's where my space went. Good to know. Thanks for the WhatSize recommendation. Time to go plug this in to TimeMachine and see it go away!

Recovering Hard Drive Space?

Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to recover hard drive space after emptying the trash?
My macbook tells me that I have 1.39Gb of free space, so I went around deleting some videos, and then empty the trash.
However, I checked how much free space I have left, it's still 1.39Gb after emptying the trash, and I'm sure I've deleted around 10Gb worth of videos.
However, I notice that if I log out and then log back in, I get the space back.
I was wondering if I could recover the hard drive space without actually logging out.
Thanks in advance~

Operating with such a small amount of free space is quite dangerous and can result in directory corruption. I recommend you start be repairing your hard drive and permissions:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Normally you need at least 10 GBs or 15% of the hard drive's capacity as free space whichever is greater. Too little free space is hazardous to your hard drive's health and will cause OS X to run slower. If you are running out of space then you need a larger hard drive.

How I can move my GB songs to a CD so I can free up hard drive space?

Whenever I attempt to move a GB song onto a CD (to free up hard drive space) and delete the song from the GB folder, I'm not able to open up the song. Any advice?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thank you for your advice.
Ultimately you are correct about the CD-R not being reusable once the file is burned.
Presently I've alleviated that by not burning the CD-R. However, the downside is that I will not be able to remove the CD-R from the drive until I either burn the songs to the CD-R, or move the songs back onto the hard drive.
Perhaps a CD-RW may allow one to move files back and forth in the same manner that floppy disks do (though a GarageBand file obviously would be much too large to store on a floppy). This may be a temporary "poor person's" solution to free up hard drive space until one can afford a zip drive or a larger Mac.
Thank you again for your tip.

I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.
