Way to tell which folders take up the most HD Space?

[z400central]

Hello All,

Was interested in if there is a way to see what folders take up the most HD space.

Thanks!

Whatsize or OmniDiskSweeper should help you with that...

Disk Inventory X is my favorite for when you need to find large files or just need to see what is chewing up all the space.

Let me know if this is to your liking.

what is the program that cleans out all the Pre-installed apple software on New macs. My parents brought a new mac mini and i would like to find them some more space. the only speak English so they don't need all the languages, they don't need garage band or anything like that.

Terminal

Try the following command from a terminal window: sudo du -h -d 1 /

It might take a little while as the command creates a recursive summary from the root. It may look something like this:

JoeDoes-computer:~ user$ sudo du -h -d 1 /
59M /.Spotlight-V100
9.1M /.Trashes
1.5K /.vol
2.7G /Applications
1.5K /automount
6.6M /bin
0B /cores
2.0K /dev
2.6G /Library
2.0K /Network
2.5G /private
4.4M /sbin
1.8G /System
91G /Users
490M /usr
8.0K /Volumes
101G /
JoeDoes-computer:~ user$
