About this mac: Storage is shown weird

Isn't EB exabyte, which is a millionr (or billion? GB)?

How's is Movies 18EB possible for a 120GB mac book air?


And also how can Other take so much space while it is shown as 'zero KB?'

How should I do to clear this up?User uploaded file

First understand what OTHER is:


http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6047


http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html


Then this may help in dealing with your storage:


http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html


Also a good tool to download from the Internet is OmniDiskSweeper (free). Open it and it will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Delete or transfer to an external HDD data you no longer wish to keep on your MBA SSD.


Ciao.
