Hi guys,
My Mac as a 750GB HDD. It got full. So, I bought a WD 2TB HDD to free some space on my mac to the WD.
I moved so many files from my Mac to my WD, but my Mac still has 1.75GB left! How can I know what is eating my storage space on my mac?
(I use FCPX)
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
Did you delete the files on your system drive that were moved and then did you empty Trash? When you move items to another drive, they are copied so you temporarily have two copies - in the original and new locations.
If you did trash them, you might want to download OmniDIskSweeper, which is a free utility and will provide a detailed report of what's stored on your drives – sorted according to size.

1.Open FCPX
2. Select a Project/Event/Library in the Browser by simply clicking on it so it's highlighted.
3. In the menu; choose File > "Delete Generated Project Files..." (or "Delete Generated Event Files..." or "Delete Generated Library Files...")
4. Click OK
5.Done
Will my video footage get deleted if I do this?
No.
What Tom said…but I will be more than a little surprised if you have >600 GB of renders.
