Q: Phantom uninstalled program?

Sep 10, 2014 6:50 PMby CMCSK,After performing the uninstall, I went and did a drag-and-trash for all of the Battle.net and WoW files and applications I could find.
Did you also empty the trash?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer and run recovery - OS X: About OS X Recovery. When you see the Mac OS X Utilities" window, select Disk Utility & run the repair disk setting. Restart when done and repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer. If you are still lacking space try one of the space checker utilities....

Sep 10, 2014 7:31 PMby cdtew,So, yes, I had emptied the trash before posting here.
I tried your OX Recovery - repair disk - restart - repair permissions - restart method, and that didn't work. Now it says I have less GB of HD space than before.
As for the other suggestions, I've tried Daisy Disk, WhatSize, and Disk Doctor - they all show that my HD is actually full of 85 or so GB of "stuff", but only show me as having 12.4 GB of free space. So the remaining 25 is still just...gone.
Any other suggestions?

Sep 10, 2014 8:01 PMby cdtew,I'm not precisely sure what you mean by looking at memory versus storage, but what I'm talking about is the amount of GB shown as being "free space" on my hard drive. Normally it's at ~ 37 GB, now it's at 12.
Sorry, it must have autofilled for my iOS version. I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on my MacBook.

Sep 10, 2014 8:03 PMby cdtew,CMCSK, I did do all of the relevant-seeming tasks on those links, but to no avail. It appears that the vast majority of tasks on those lists, however, are garden-variety "declutter your hard drive" tasks. This is not that. This is about a 25 GB program that was not fully downloaded, that was uninstalled, and that has left a 25 GB-sized hole in my hard drive. I declined to do tasks such as deleting my Mail Downloads or rotating my logs, which are unrelated to the issue at hand.
