discrepancy between "about this mac" and omnidisksweeper
That math doesn't add up.... does anyone have any idea what is taking up so much space and how I can make more of it? Thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
I know nothing about the third-party program. I suggest you contact whoever wrote it and ask them what causes the difference.

That might have an impact on the OTHER category.
Also OmniDiskSweeper may not be picking up the BACKUPS (SNAPSHOTS) which are the following:

Also open the USERS category on OmniDiskSweeper and compare the individual files. It is too boaod a category by it self for an effective comparison.
Ciao.
