Where did all my hard drive space go?

All i've been doing is converting a slide show to .mov and my mac os x partition has jumped from 107gb free to 9.49gb free. What do i do? I've only had my macbook pro for 3 days.

Thanks
 
Use something like OmniDiskSweeper (free one-day licenses on the site) to see where the space went... if it wasn't that mov file it might be a runaway logfile or something... Just delete it using the disk sweeper or get something like MainMenu to do some maintenance for you... 🙂
 
there's an app called whatsize...that'll measure everything in your hard drive..that's what I use when I run low on space. For me its always music and torrented apps!..now the torrents go to the external so I'm all good. 😀

the problem is that i haven't really installed much, just wow and a couple of cds were imported to itunes and a few small apps
 
omni disksweeper isnt telling me anything when i run a sweep, everything looks normal. What do i do it still says i have 9gb left
 
Do you have a screen shot of the ODS window? Did you let it run until finished (it takes a while to sweep a large disk)?
 
i cant believe it. I merged the sound and video of a four minute clip and it took up 99.9gb of space. How rediculous! Its fixed now, thanks for your help
