Free Space Problem.....

[sujithkrishnan]

Hi all,

I am using a Mac Mini, Which is having a capacity of 74.2 GB.
Hardly i made use of 15 or 16 GB of that..
As i felt some slowness, i tried running "Disk Utility" .
Recently i found that the free space is only 2.4GB, instead of around 55GB..

Disk Utility is showing
USED SPACE :71.8GB

If i am calculating all folders in "Machintosh HD" (Application, Library,System, etc..), it wil come around 14-15 GB only...

Why so? plz help !!
