1.5 TB disk, 900GB free, GetInfo claims 150GB purgeable.
All sorts of apps, from Chrome, to Apple daemons, are throwing errors claiming the disk is full, when it clearly isn't.
I've tried running Disk First Aid from Recovery, it says everything is fine.
What's going on? Running Catalina 10.15.6 (19G73)
iMac, OS X 10.11
Hello jabrwock,
We understand you are getting alerts that your disk is full, but still have 900 GB free. You’re in the right place, we’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.
Have you tested in safe mode to see if the issue persists? How to use safe mode on your Mac
Starting in safe mode will take a little longer than normal, because it verifies and repairs the directory, cleans caches, and loads only Apple-critical items. Also, video and your display may have white flashes, and may be slow and distorted while in safe mode.
You may also want to see if the issue persists in another user user account.
Have a great day.
I had to reset PRAM before I was able to use Safe Boot, but now the problem seems to have resolved.
claims disk full but is not
