Disk is full but system information show otherwise

Disk utility is showing as full but my system information says I have almost half a drive free. I suspect it may have something to do with Dropbox but not sure. Running repair in disk utility gave the below (edited to fit character limit) but it didn’t fix anything and I got the same when I ran it in recovery mode.


Do I need to wipe my drive and reinstall everything?

Yeah, unfortunately I would probably wipe and reinstall.


If you havent already, grab an external SSD that you can copy everything over to.


Then make sure you have created a back up or use a software like backblaze.


Copy everything over to that SSD as a backup.


Then wipe and reinstall.


If that doesnt fix it, you likely need a replacement


Thanks!

I'm just thinking around the subject and I don't know if these suggestions will make any difference.


  • If you have a spare USB external drive big enough to copy the contents of the problem disk using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super-duper do so and see if the size changes to what you expect on the copy.
  • Make sure that Time Machine is up to date
  • Click on the Apple icon -> About this Mac -> Storage -> Manage, follow the recommendations and see if this changes the disk info.

Disk is full but system information show otherwise
