HDD space issue

[astral125]

So I bought a MBA with only the 64GB flash hard drive. This was my first mistake apparently. I didn't plan on storing anything on it and only was going to do some light word processing, internet browsing, and not much else. I have no media on it what so ever, and only 800 megs of documents.

I can't keep the hard drive from filling up. I was down to 500 megs of free space, so I spent an hour clearing space, and finally got about 4 GB clear. The problem is that I don't know what is taking up so much space. If I click get info for my home directory, it says the directory is about 30GB. If I click get info on each of the directories it contains, they all add up to barely over 1GB. Where is the other 29GB?

Thanks

You need an app like omnidisk sweeper that scans your hard drive and provides a list of folders/files sorted by size showing you what's taking up your space. This particular application is free, there's a few others out there but I personally like this one.
