Can someone explain this? My photo library takes up approximately 114 GB of HDD space. But the photos seems to be listad as both "documents" and pictures (bilder), because I sure as hell don't have a whopping 122 GB worth of documents. In system information it says 114 of those 122 GB:s are pictures. So, it seems to me that the pictures take up double the space they're supposed to? And no, I don't have any pictures at all in the documents folder.
Got a tip for us?

That graph can be misleading regarding object types.
So, might want to install a disk scanning program to see what and where is taking up space. For example:

Thank you for answering, I really appreciate it! I did what you told me to do, and according to OmniDiskSweeper my disk use is 166.4 GB. But Mac OS seem to think I use 239,4 GB. I don't understand this!
EDIT: I'm so stupid. I now see that system information says I got 332,2 GB available. 332,4+166,4 = 500 GB. So it would seem the pictures is represented twice on the graph, but isn't really taking twice the storage space.
