Hello all,
I've noticed that my mac HD icon in the finder (10.7.4) will increase its free space qouta whenever I delete something, but its not so hot at noticing new files - could be wrong about the mechanism behind this error but regardless the net result is this bit of nonsense:
Free space just got bigger than the drive
hence I now feel compelled to post
What is going on ?
How to fix ?
System profiler and disk util show the correct disk usage. Restart finder doesn't fix...
Sorry if this has been covered already - I found it hard to come up with non-generic search terms for this issue
