I have a 2012 Mac Mini with the 500gb HDD, and recently I added another user account on it (for my wife). Now however it's running out of space...

Is there any way I can find out how much storage space each user is using? Then I can decide my course of action...

Thanks in advance.

The Unix Way:
From terminal in your /Applications/Utilities sub directory:

$cd /Users
$sudo du -sh username

Repeat for each user.

The GUI Way:
From the OS X Finder go to /Users and select the username then right click and select info. You can also use the keyboard command+i.

Repeat for each user.

Thanks very much, I hadn't thought of that, appreciated.
