I have a problem and i hope someone can help?
When i click on about this mac and go to storage, it tells me that i have 30gb of movies somewhere in storage? I DON'T!!
I have deleted all movies from desk top, downloads and trash bin but it still tells me that i have 30gb of movies in storage?
How do i delete to free up HD???
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Movies in your iPhoto or Photo Library are also included in that total. Same goes for movies that may have been emailed to you and are in Mail. Same goes for iTunes Movies you may have purchased. So, look in those locations as well. For the purpose "videos" and "movies" are identical.
Hi John
I have checked all the above and they are separate on the info storage bar! So i still have 30gb of movies somewhere on the Mac hd.
If you are referencing the display in 'About This Mac...', it has a bug in it and often does not show correct information. Often a Spotlight reindex will solve the problem:

TL;DR drag the entire hard disk icon to the exclusions list, then delete it with the [—] (minus) button.
