Mac OS X 10.8.2 Shows wrong available disk space

Toggle time machine fixed the problem, THANK YOU

Still the right answer - Time Machine on/off. Wish I started here 🙂

But only after doing a restart while time machine was turned off.

I had exactly the same issue with my MacBook Air. I turned the Time Machine OFF, restarted and turned on the Time Machine again.

This fixed it.

OK: after turning off time machine, and a restart, disk space display's back to normal. Was fun having a 2 Petabyte HD for a while, tho 😁

Had this issue and your solution just worked for me.

I don't explain it but big thank you !

Thanks! Would never have guessed but TimeMachine OFF, relaunch Finder, and TimeMachine back ON fixed it.

I had the Finder report 236 TB of free space... if only 😉

I did the same (DISK UTILITY and REPAIR DISK), but without reboot. It worked.

Apple have fixed this bug in release 10.10.4

Phil.

Thomas,

All I can say is that - for me - this issue disappeared the moment I upgraded to 10.10.4

I think we must be talking about different issues.

Phil.

Worked on Yosemite (10.10.5) on Sep 16, '16 just as sweetly. Thank you.

Thanks. This fixed it for me!

I can confirm that doing this worked! I was trying to get steam to recognise newly available disk space. Thanks!
