Q: osx storage issue
Hi, I have an issue with my Macbook SSD, I have tons of available storage space, but according to the storage breakdown, i should be nearly out of storage.
Either I am a complete newb or something is not right,
could someone please advise me and point me in the direction of a solution.
Thanks
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Re-index Spotlight: Spotlight- How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support. I would not rely on the About This Mac storage information since it is unreliable if the disk index is old. Rely instead on the Get Info display for you disk drive. The upper panel will display the important information: Capacity, Used, and Available.
Use OmniDiskSweeper or GrandPerspective to search your drive for files and where they are located. Both are freeware.
