OmniDiskSweeper useage

Hi

I'm looking to clear space on my hard drive. After sweeping what I take to be the whole computer with OmniDiskSweeper (1.9 v28 r201186) it only seems to find 220.3GB of the reported 410GB used, see attached screen shot. I can't locate any other drive or hidden directory. Am I missing something? How do I get to see the other 190GB?

User uploaded file

I'm using OS X 10.9.5.


Many thanks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

See this article on running OmniDiskSweeper as 'root' so OmniDiskSweeper can access files your user account does not have permissions to access.
