APFS Volume not showing correct size.

[Hessel89]

Since I upgraded to MacOS Sierra my volumes are not displaying the correct size anymore. At first I thought my external Time Machine HD had a problem now it's also happening on internal SSD and my internal HDD. To show you what I mean I made a screenshot before I moved a 153GB folder and after. Bare in mind I already emptied the Tray so it should show me the freed up space. Instead it's telling me it's exactly the same size as it was before deleting 153 GB from the drive. Anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, how to fix it. btw, I'm on the official release, not the beta.

I got one better for you. The Samsung EVO SSD in my 2012 Mini thinks there's more free space than the size of the drive!



You converted your HDD's to APFS? Why??? All the talk has stated that there's no advantage to APFS on HDD's....and wasn't advisable.

SSD's only.

For the HDD's, I'd copy the data to another drive, format it back to HFS+

For SSD's, I'd try using the disk utility to check / repair errors. Other than that, make sure any critical data is backed up elsewhere and wait for the beta to go golden to see if it fixes the problems.

I probably wouldn't be running it on my time machine drive either (you kinda want to have a reliable file system for that)
