Macbook pro shows incorrect storage information on SSD.

I am using a macbook pro. The storage information is shown wrongly. Control I shows the correct information but finder and space bar on the hard disk show incorrect storage information. Used space is actually 122 GB which is shown as 140 GB. Even omnidiskkeeper shows the breakup of 122 GB but the storage information summary shows 140GB.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Re-index Macintosh HD.

Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.

System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy

Thanks for your answer. I have tried reindexing spotlight but no effect. Still reporting incorrectly.

Discrepancy in calculating space between Finder and Disk Utility

“Finder does not take into account the Backups/ local snapshots,

but disk utility includes them.”
