No Space left on Mac

I just don't know where this 35 gig of space has gone. Anyone have any ideas?

How to Free Up Space on The Hard Drive


  1. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
  2. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
  3. Also, see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
  4. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
  5. Be sure to Empty the Trash to recover the space.
  6. Replace the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
  7. Use OmniDiskSweeper or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I think you should ignore the Storage information of About This Mac. Select the Desktop disk icon. Press Command-I to open the Get Info window. In the topmost panel is the disk information: Capacity, Available, and Used. I have no idea what you mean by the "35 gig."
