Just lost over 20 gigs of HD space....help
I had an external FW drive connected to my Laptop and was working on some Photoshop stuff.
I have about 24 gigs of space left on my Laptop HD. The FW drive had about 20+ gigs of material on it.
The drive kept unmounting and an alert told me to reformat the FW drive. I took it to my iMac and backed it up and then reformatted and put the material back on it ... no problem so far.
I go back to my laptop and start working on the photoshop stuff again and all of a sudden I have 800megs left on my laptop HD. I have NO idea how or where the space got taken up.
Maybe the contents of the FW drive got put into a cache somewhere?
I tried using CLEAN MY MAC but that didn't clean out any space.
Something happened and now my HD is almost full and i have NO idea what happened.
Anyone have ANY clue how to figure out how to find out where the space went or how to fix it?
