Hi
I have a mid 2014 MacBook pro with the latest OS and 500gb storage. I moved all my pictures and iTunes over from an iMac. The storage was getting full but I still had a few gb left after moving everything over. I used the iTunes find duplicates and got rid of duplicate songs. I downloaded Photosweeper and used it to get rid of duplicate photos. I had about 30gb free when I went to bed. I woke up to almost no storrage. What is going on?? I looked in "all my files" in finder and it shows multiple duplicates of songs, movies and photos. Very weird. These were not there 8 hours ago. I use Mac Backup Guru and Time Machine for backups and I have Photos set to download all originals to my Macbook - it had already downloaded all of the originals before this happened. Could one of these programs be making the duplicates?

If you know how to stop this great. If you can tell me how to get rid of all the duplicates even better - or I might need to start from scratch again.

Thanks for the help.
