Inside the finder the hard drive is showing about 23 gigs used after deleting user file (5g applications, 12 gig library, 6 gig system, 15 megs user) and creating new one (in order to sell) but get info on the hard drive icon is showing 52 gigs used... could this be right?
thanks

“You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed."
Excellent, thank you..
Is 19 gigs normal for that type of difference? thanks
The difference should be equal to the amount of space used for "Backups" in the Storage display.
Hello,
Ok. I have a 750G SSD drive on a mac pro retina. Finder says I have 605G available. While I about this mac says 215G available. I have tried to turn off timemachine so I can have the correct numbers.
10.8.3 osx is my OS, I have 16G of Ram and 2.7Ghz intel core i7.
When is apple going to fix this finder bug. And from reading the thread i get the impression that someone at apple thinkgs this is the correct behavior for finder. That is flat wrong, I am a developer and I can tell you that available memory should ALWAYS be correct. I have run a verify on my SSD to get the disk on par.
As I no longer trust my apple disk my next steps are to back up and move to another machine. And then start calling apple to have this fixed.
So when is this to be fixed??
Evan
