Q: Missing Hard Drive Space -Trashme

My 500gb SSD Macbook Pro is having hard drive storage memory issues

 

Something keeps stealing ssd space

 

I have one file trashme which has 160gb of data for which I know no use.

 

Question

 

          Is anyone else having a storage stealing issues?

 

          Can anyone suggest a way to fix my problem based on what little information i have offered.

 

I have already turned down trying to simply delete data and restart, restore from Time machine

 

Thank you

 

Peter

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Hi there pbels,

     

    It sounds like your space is whittling away and you want to free up some of it. As far as your Mac is concerned, I would take a look at this article to help you free up some of that space:

     

    OS X El Capitan: Increase disk space

     

    If you have Time Machine setup to backup your computer but haven't done so in a while there may also be local snapshots taking up that space:

    After some research it looks like TrashMe is a third-party app so for information about that you should checkout the makers website.Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, let us know how that goes!
