Hi everyone,

I am really desperate by now. I am running latest Catalina and for a while my free space is being calculated wrongly. I have 256GB drive and "About this Mac" says that only my Documents folder itself is more than 300 GB. (you can see on the picture). All these filed are stored only in OneDrive Cloud and offloaded using Files on Demand feature.

I would not care but I know need to use Boot Camp and it says I don’t have enough space - but I have! So it probably detects it wrong ways as this utility. (No it’s not a problem with TimeMachine).

I tried to unsync OneDrive and connect and even reindex my drive with no results. Do you have any experience with this? Does this happen only to me? Maybe I did something wrong....

Really appreciate any sugestion, thank you!!

This happens as well with my OneDrive using the files on demand feature. For some reason, it cannot detect that the files are not actually downloaded. It's never presented any problem for me as I run Windows in a VM via Parallels. You might consider that as a workaround.
