What is eating all my iCloud space?
It says I have 5.7GB of data to back up to my 5GB iCloud space.
Here are my iCloud settings, set to back up the least amount of data as possible.

Here is my usage data in case that's useful:

The only thing I can think of is the "Documents & Data" has a lot of stuff, but how do I see how much space that is eating up and how do i manage those files?
Have you already checked the Settings on your iPhone: Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage?

How to Find Out What is Eating up my HD space
Help! I have a MacBook that is just a little over a year old and it is almost at capacity. When I bought the thing I wasn't doing much with photo editing and now I am doing a lot. My 80G HD is full and I can't figure out what is eating up my space. Is there an easy way to see what is hogging all of the space on my HD? I have 14G in music, another 12-13 in photos- those I can identify. I just can't tell what else is eating up my space. I need to purge stuff but am just not sure where to start. I have an EHD that I can move stuff to but I want to get rid of whatever I don't need.
Is there a way to create a list in order by file size so I can see where all my space is going?
Thanks in advance for your advice.Hi JennKRE,
you can use application called what size to see what inside your macbook:

you can use monolingual to get rid language you don't use:
http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/
use appdelete to delete application you no longer use:

Use Onyx to delete cache files, repair permission and optimize your HD:

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...

And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

Where has all my iCloud space gone?
Since a few weeks, I have been experiencing issues with iCloud. My free storage space seems to just vanish.
I currently own an iPad 2 and an iPod touch (3rd generation), I used to back up both devices with iCloud, but a few weeks ago, I kept getting a message stating that there was not enough storage space left to back up my devices. Today, I found the time to investigate the matter, and I started with removing both back-ups from iCloud. I figured that would possibly help, but it only made things worse. Right now, I can't backup either of my devices, because iCloud states I have only got about 1MB left for storage. But when I check with iCloud manager for Windows or on either of my devices, I am only using about 50 to 60 MB's. The strangest part is the fact that, when I removed the backups, the storage space I had left grew, but then almost instantly, it started getting less and less, untill now, when iCloud says I only have less than 1MB left!
Can anyone help me on this one?
Thanks in advance

I added two screenshots from my iPad, which show the problem.Very odd. Both WhatSize and OmniDiskSweeper are often the recommended options for viewing drive contents in exactly this sort of situation, where finding something like an untrimmed log file that has consumed all but a small amount of free space has otherwise proven difficult.
However, since disk utilities did not report any errors, at least we know that the drive is OK. We can also surmise that the issue isn't merely that the Finder is mis-reporting free space since at the outset you remarked that the system had become very sluggish - a common indicator of minimal free space.
I have encountered broadly similar issues before, caused by such things as a file in the trash that could not be emptied but which was not visible when opening the trash to examine it, and File Vault (if you have it turned on, turn it off and try WhatSize again) but clearly you've tried all the common and tried and tested means to identify the specific cause of the lost space - leaving nothing obvious to suggest.
You mentioned that you have an external to which you could copy your data, and it occurs to me that it would be interesting to know if you were to use Carbon Copy Cloner (from versiontracker) to backup your internal drive to the external, how much space the backup would take, since if the sizing utilities can't find the extra data, CCC may also not. If you were to try that, you would end up with a bootable external which at least would allow you to dig around in the data without fear of loosing something important. -
I recently acquired a Macbook that has a 500gb hard drive but I cannot find what is using the space. OS 10,6 installed and I do not have recovery disks. I would like to wipe and re-install/
Thank you.Phone AppleCare and order replacement original disks, or if the computer shipped with 10.6.2 or earlier and you don't need the iLife applications, buy a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD from the online Apple Store.

What is with all the blank space on the sides of the browser?
Well, I was forced into Firefox 9, and 1/4 of the screen on the right, and 1/4 on the left, is blank white space. Why would that happen? Plus, I have to change the zoom everytime I load a new page.
Can anyone help? Using Win7 on a laptop with a display at 1920 x 1080.You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

What happened to all my HD space?
Yesterday I had like 54GBs of available storage and today I have 32GBs. Is there a way to check to see what is using what?
Hi,
Yes there is...

Be careful what you delete though!

HT5824 iCloud space is full, but I can't figure out why...

What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.
Dear Adviser
This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
We are checking to see if there is any engineering
documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
reported problem.
Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
user documentation. This is related to a significant
increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
We started with the possibility that it is
a. Solaris Platform issue
OR
b. LDAP issue
We have done several experiments to isolate specific
issues as described below. We have researched
Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
because the Portal has been configured with pages
that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

Tibco SupportThis may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

Please can somebody help ....My iphone said not enough icloud space available, so I have delete all back ups and checked what apps are linked to my back up and it is only my photos. Since deleting all current back ups I have tried to back up again and it still says not enough space when I have 5GB/ 5GB available.
Can anybody help please? I'd be really greatful as this is driving me mad... why can't things just be simple xThe problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

What is taking up iCloud space?
I know this has been asked many times and I've read as much as I can on iCloud space, but I still can't figure out what's taking up space.
My iPhione has plenty of space. Capacity of 57GB with 30GB available. iCloud is showing a total storage of 25GB with only 4.2GB available.
On my phone when I go to iCloud and then manage storage, it's showing the following:
iPhone 14.3GB
iPad 5.6GB
iPad Mini 860MB
So then when I click on iPhone, the first item (of course) is the camera roll, which is showing 4.3GB. When I click to show all apps, they all have very little space. Adding them all up, it is no where near the 14.3GB it's indicating.
I know I'm stupid and missing something. And all the articles I've read are not helping.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Do you have lots of photos and videos in your text messages? Those are included in the backup and this is not listed in settings because you don't have the option to exclude them.

What's taking up all my iCloud storage
I don't know what's taking up all my iCloud storage even though I only have two items in there that total to 14.1 mb only.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I note you have been using back up. Data that has been written to iCloud storage and has since been deleted can still show up on your usage even though the space is still available. I'd monitor the situation and if adding new content still results in your available space being removed, I'd contact support. -
I am running out of hard drive space so I clear 32GB of space at midnight and went to bed.
When I wokle up I had no space left even though I had not used the computer, the system.lg is FULL of stuff and I have no HD space anymore?
What's eating it up?WORD TO THE WISE
the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip
