Free up space / Missing Hard Drive Space on Mac Pro

[puneet1135]

Hai guys,

I'm not able to account for ~30 GB of Hard Disk Space on my Mac. Wondering if any of you have ran into the same problem.

Specs:
Macbook Pro Late 2010, 4GB Ram, 250GB Hard Disk, OS: 10.9.2(Mavericks)

I have checked all my folder sizes (starting from root directory). Went to finder, did a Go->Go to Folder-> Goto root folder ( cd / )
All of the folders there (Applications, Developer, Library, System and Users) add upto 80 GB.

Info from About This Mac: Total Storage = 248 GB, Free = 139 GB,

However, the total size I have is 80GB, which leaves me 30 GB unaccounted for ?

Any suggestions?) add upto 80 GB

Open Terminal ap and run the command below. You will be asked for your password. Give the command a minute to complete and it will show all the base folders and space used by each in GB. This will include some hidden and system files you cannot normally see.
