Download folder on Macbook is empty but still uses hard drive space Hi Here is what happened: I tried to download a huge file from Google Drive onto Downloads folder on my Macbook Pro (macOS Mojave) which failed as I run out of disk space on my computer. I deleted all the files in the Downloads folder, emptied the Bin, but "Get info" on the Downloads folder shows that there is still 80GB in that folder / 1 item which I assume is the file I tried to download. Where is that file? How do I empty the Downloads folder when there are no files for me to select? Thank you for your help in advance.

Lost folder I was recently going through my files on my MacBook Air. I was putting some in the trash and some in a folder to put on an external hard drive. When I emptied the trash, the folder with stuff to put on the hard drive disappeared. Is there any way I can recover this without having to pay $80+ for one of the recovery softwares?
