Re-index Macintosh HD.


Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.

System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy

You will see a new category “Other” in the Storage Display.

If you don’t have Macintosh HD icon on the desktop,

Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop:

Enable “Hard disks”.
