missing GB’s
Hi,
this phenomena isn’t new to me but I lost overnight about 100GB on my start up drive. It just went away.
I have no ideas where it went. My documents folders shows me it has 103Gb but if I get infos aon each folder it adds up to 15GB….
all happened over night while the cpu was off….
Any ideas?Thanks
Max

That’s a bad sign Max. Ever wonder why that was? It’s a sign that not all is right…

Use Spotlight to search your Documents folder for Invisible items larger than 1GB and see what it finds.

There are also some small applications that let you see the hidden files.
However I agree with David about DW. Some versions had been having some problems when dealing with permissions although I think the problem was in Mac OSX. The same happen to the Disk Utility.
The last version works great.
i really don’t understand how can some people be working with a Mac without a periodic directories re-building.
