mac shows wrong storage information

Hi,

My macbook shows incorrect storage information, which is inconsistent with the available storage space.

The storage maps shows that:

App 119G with 179G free from 250 G

Which does not added up correctly.

I have tried to use disk repair in recovery mode but the storage is still wrong.

I'm using 10.10.1 OS X yosemite on my macbook

I do not use time machine.

Is there any way to solve this issue?

Thank you.

Hi joannnnnnnn,

If you are using a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with a solid state drive (SSD), you may notice some discrepancies in the available, used, and total storage reporting. If this is the case, you may find the following article helpful:
