Hi there. My macbook pro seems to be reporting the hard drive space incorrectly. As you can see its saying I have 188gb free yet its showing that I have 133gb used in Apps alone. With only a 250gb Hard drive I wouldn't be able to have 188gb free if over 133 is used. Any idea whats going on here ?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS version 10.11.2
Please rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
What does Disk Utility Info tab say about your HDD?
So i reindexed doing spotlight and it seems to have fixed the problem. Although its still reporting wrong. Everything now is in other and nothing is in apps. Weird..... or ... what ?
There is a bug in that program that produces that display. The information shown cannot be relied upon for accuracy.
If you want to determine what you have on your MBP, download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all of your files and the respective sizes.
Ciao.
Is Spotlight still indexing?
