Q: My MacBook Air shows more storage then i carrie

Hi

 

My storage is telling me that I use over 330gb for apps, the weird thing about it was that it showed in another sentence that I only used 35gb. On the other hand my MacBook Air can only take 120gb.

 

Sorry if my english is bad

 

Thank you

A:

You most likely need to reindex Spotlight since your computer is inaccurately displaying your storage information.

 

Follow the article below. On step 4, add your entire hard drive, usually named Macintosh HD, and then remove it. A reindex can take some time so don't be worried if it doesn't change right away. If it will take a while, you can click the Spotlight search bar for a progress update.

Best of luck
