Powerbook HD

[Blazer5913]

Just a quick question. My PB's HD is 80gb. I have alot on it, but not this much... When I check my space left, I only have 2.1 gb left. When I check my HOME folder, that includes my Movies, Music, ect, it only shows that I have 30gb in there. So where is my other 40gb or so. Is there a program or app to show where all my hd space is going? Thanks

indeed there is! download this program, it's called what size. I find myself filling up my HD with random stuff all the time, so every other week i go in with what size to see where the space is getting hogged. its fantastic, and now i have about 30GB free on my powerbook

I've forgotten the name of the app that shows you exactly where your space is disappearing, but have you removed unnecessary language packs and printer drivers? I freed up over a gig of space doing that. Also I know that your powerbook's virtual memory fluctuates, which might make some of free space disapear. I wish I could be more helpful , I'm going to go look up the names of the apps though.

I shamelessly stole this from another thread, so the credit goes to other people.
