Something is using up all my hard drive space?

Something is using up all my hard drive space and is under 'other' on about this mac..
When I use omi disk sweeper or grand perspective they don't show anything up as using 420GB lol.. So yeah any idea how I can find these hidden files?!
Thanks

ODS or GP 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 you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding 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
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
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 and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. 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. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
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.

  • Firefox eventually consumes all available hard drive space while running

    I have 1-2 GB available on my hard drive. When I leave Firefox running for a while (a few hours to a few days, not sure what triggers this behavior), my available hard drive space goes down and down until it gets down to 0. If I quit Firefox, the hard drive space frees up.
    I always have multiple windows and tabs open. I'd rather not quit Firefox ever, but I have to to get my HD space back. Sometimes it doesn't seem to happen for a long time, and then it starts happening. I've been rebooting about weekly recently and it hasn't helped any.

    I would also have assumed it was just variations in VM usage & application or system memory usage - except that it may show, say, 300 MB available AFTER rebooting, and then, without my launching any applications or using the computer, just immediately rebooting a second time, show 2 GB available.... so somehow the space available isn't be allocated properly it seems to me...
    I was also afraid that I was running with too little available space - but have been doing so for months now without these problems. I've got a lot of large video files on the drive, no other drive available to transfer them to, no $$ right now for purchases... and didn't want to delete the videos. I need to transfer more to CD/DVD's but have done all the 'easy' ones that are less than 700 MB already, and have to either waste DVD's or take the time to convert them to versions that will allow the DVD to play on TV also - something I haven't tried yet and gather takes a bit of time. So I've been running along with the drive pretty full.
    I would really like to know how to find any 'junk files' like temp files, any duplicates, etc that can be safely deleted, but also not sure how to do that on a mac? So there's this issue, and also the first paragraph, e.g., that it seems to me that somehow the space available allocation isn't being properly shown - is there some way I can check that, find out what is using up the space?

  • Macbook pro using a lot of hard drive space

    I just bought the new macbook pro with the 250 gig hard drive.. but without even transferring anything at all to my new mac from my old.. it already says it only has 178.1 gig's of hard drive space available.. is it seriously already using over 50 gig's of space just out of the box???

    What did you figure out? I am having the same problem!
    Have a 200GB HD
    My System Profiler states:
    Capacity=185.99GB which I understand BUT-
    It also states Available=26.25GB
    Then, when I go to the Activity Monitor it states:
    Space Utilized=99.14GB
    Space Free=25.85GB
    With a total of 124.99GB
    WHERE IS THE MISSING 51GB of memory?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    What is the deal????
    Anyone?

  • UML295 consuming all available hard drive space

    Hello,
    I have encountered a problem with multiple people on multiple computers. I am presuming these are some kind of cache files for the enhanced interface, but the device will consume all hard drive space available within %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Verizon
    I am attempting to do a sitdown with the user, but I suspect it will be all things normal. I am wondering if anyone has seen this or knows anything. We do use Cisco AnyConnect, but so far, I haven't seen anything documented for behavior compared to the UML290 which required us changing the way the device identified itself to the operating system.

        Embalmed
    We want to make sure everything is working correctly.  What operating system is being used? When did you start seeing that message?

  • Preview gobbling up all my hard drive space

    In preview under File>Revert to>Browse All Versions I see the following
    http://puu.sh/81Nh5
    the snapshots of a pdf in preview is taking WAY too much space, how do delete these old versions and how do i stop my mac from takingfrequent  snapshots of PDF documents I am editting, it is really frustrating and slowing my mac down.
    Time Machine is not turned on, this seems like an automated process done by preview

    According to this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4753
    "OS X creates a new version of a document every hour while you’re working on it. OS X saves only the information that has changed since the last version, making efficient use of space on your hard drive. OS X manages the version history of a document, keeping hourly versions for a day, daily versions for a month, and weekly versions for all previous months."
    So you should only have one version for each week that you ever modified the document.
    How much space is the PDF taking?

  • HT1338 My itunes keeps telling me i do not have enough access permissions to do anything. I had used all my hard drive space so i deleted some files. i deleted the downloads folder and a few others and this is when this problem occurred. Please help!

    I tried changing the permissions and installing a new itunes but nothing is working!

    Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated.  Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too.  Go to User(your home folder)/Music.  Select/highlight your "Music" folder.  Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window.  Enter your user password.  Click on your username just above the now-open padlock.  Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access."  Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window.  Click on "Apply to all enclosed items."  When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes."  This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included).  Then you should be good to go.

  • What is using my hard drive space on my macbook pro

    Something is using all my hard drive space and I cannot figure out what.  Yesterday I had 120GB and now I have 120MB free and got a disk warning.  I have noticed this past week that my space has been eaten up.  My Mac Book Pro is 2 months old and I have not put any big or fancy programmes on it as I am still getting used to this being my first Mac.  One of the selling points for getting a Mac is I heard its programmes took a lot less space.  My previous PC that I had for 2 years had a 130GB hard drive and I had 20GB free when I gave it away.  I cannot believe I have used all my 500GB hard drive space when I have only installed a few programmes on this one such as Notebook, Pages, and some accounting software.  I cannot seem to find details of where the space is being used.  Please help.

  • How do I find what's using my hard drive space

    My wife has a 14" iBook. How do I find what's using all the hard-drive space? It only has a 40GB hard-drive (it's one of the older G3 models) but there isn't a lot loaded onto the HD. There is only 3GB space left. I've gone through every application and utility and document and every folder (document, movie, etc.) and the largest space-hogging folder is iTunes which uses 15GB because of the music. I can't find any singular folder that uses any sizeable HD space. I recently loaded Tiger so I don't know if Tiger uses the rest of the space or if it's just a combo of all the other applications.

    You could download and use WhatSize to see what may be eating up the space.
    With a 40 GB hard drive, you need to keep at least 6 GB free in order to avoid problems.

  • How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

    how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space.  Please help.  Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

    I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p.  Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb.  So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space.  Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR.  Thanks!
    Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
    For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is.   Good Luck!

  • I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

    I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

    Jim,
    Thanks for the advice. I have avoided iMovie Theater because that would soon use all of my free iCloud allowance (although that could be an option). I have been sharing to iTunes at 720p thinking that my picture using Apple TV would be better than Large. I see now that I could use about 30% less hard drive space by using Large instead. Do you think I will experience an annoying difference in picture quality?

  • 20Gb of Hard Drive space is unnacounted for

    Something is consuming 20 GB of hard drive space on my basically out of the box 60Gb iBook G4 with Tiger that I can't account for. The only thing that's been added is MS Office and about 1Gb of files. The hardware profiler claims 39Gb used of 56Gb, but if I Get-Info on the hard drive or files on the drive they never add up to more than about 19Gb used. I tried WhatSize and it also confirms only about 19Gb used on the whole drive. Any suggesting how I can find out what's taking up the other 20Gb? How much space does the factory installation of Tiger take up?
    Thanks in advance for any hints you can provide.

    Are you using FileVault?
    You can use WhatSize to see what files are taking up the space.

  • Hard drive space PC

    ibm   Windows XP Pro  
    Love my ipod but I seem to be using up alot of hard drive space on my desk top. Other than on the main music page I have yet to put anything into a library file. Or is that the main library file. Will it help to compress them,which I see as a command with a warning that it can only be done once. Then what? does it blow up? I have downloaded other items. I only have 100 songs on a 20 gig ipod/click. Are these songs taking up 2 gigs or more?

    1. The main music page is your library.
    2. Whether compression will help depends of your file formats. if it is mp3 or AAC then it is compressed.
    3. Space used is determined by what the files are and how they are recorded.

    Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

    You cannot partition a TC disk.
    See pondini about mixing data and backups.. but remember this.. the TC has no way to back itself up and TM cannot backup files on the TC. Anything not backed up on the TC will be lost at some future point.
