I've only had my macbook for about 3 weeks, and already it's saying I've reached like 110GB. That can't be right though, cause I've only used like 50GB worth of space.

I've searched and searched through my Hard Drive to see what's taking the space. But can't find anything. I'm confused:confused:

Is there like a program I can download to see all the large files on my Macbook? Thanks:D

Log in with an user that has administrator privileges.
Just open a Finder Window, and in the View menu select Show View Options.
Tick on Calculate All Sizes, by doing this when viewing your Hard Disk drive as a list it will show the size of the folders as well as the documents.
Sort the list view by the size, and then use the pareto principle: 20% of your docs might be taking 80% of your space...
Delete, move, etc.. whatever you don't need.
