Ive recently had trouble with my Macbook Pro 2010 as when booting up it would turn off, so erased data and restored from Time Machine backup, but now my storage is displaying as shown in the attached screenshot. When I run first aid, it reports the HD to be ok, any idea what I should do to correct this?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
Rebuild Spotlight index on your Mac following these instructions:
Omni DiskSweeper can show you the precise size and location of all your files. It will inventory your disk starting from the files that take up the most space. It can also give you a more accurate read of disk space than Finder or Storage Tab of About this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But be careful some of the items may be important to your system.

Also look in Apple menu > About this Mac > Storage Tab
That display should not be relied upon because there is a bug in that program. A Spotlight reindex is not necessarily a guarantee that it will correct it.
Ciao.
What do you mean by a bug in the programe? And I did the Spotlight remindex and nothing has changed.

If you reread by prior post, I indicated that might happen.
