Discrepancy in free space available on the hard drive?
I have a 2015 era 15" MacBook Pro with a 1 TB solid state drive, running MacOS Mojave. I was warned that the drive was running out of space, so I started deleting files, using the storage manager that you get from the "About this Mac" window. Most of those big files were movies, either iTunes digital downloads or movies that I had downloaded from phones or other places, though not edited.
It now looks in "About this Mac" like I have 300 GB of space free. However, the (get info) (bottom window of the same machine) shows that I only have about 50 GB free, and 263 GB of purgable space, but it does not reflect the 200+ GB of space that I freed. Any idea what gives and how I can fix this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
