Sparsebundle taking up too much space

[Jethryn Freyman]

OS X 10.5.6, it's a .sparsebundle file. Total capacity 30GB, taking up 30GB on disk. There are only 10GB of files on the image. Trash is empty. I've zeroed my hard drive, and the disk image, and checked Whatsize.

Any help?

Maybe try making a new sparseimage? There weren't really any answers when you asked this before. Weird problem though.

Yeah, I'll just make a new image.

It's strange. I used the secure erase command on files in the sparsebundle, and I was thinking that caused the problem. Then erasing free space made it worse.

It's probably not fully compatible with sparse images.
