Hi,

I had 18 gb left on my HD from a160GB HD and some how, somewhere it seemed
to vanish.

It has gone down to 1.82GB!

I cant understand where it has all gone.

Anyone else has this prob?

I done a disc scan/repair thing too.

Could it be temp files?
Dupes?

Any help with this , many thanks

D

You're in OS X right? Open a terminal and type "cd /" and hit return,
then "du -sh *". That will tell you how much space used by each
directory (in kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes).

You can also select a directory in the finder and get info on it
(Apple-I), but doing it from the terminal is quicker.

Cheers, Robert.
