Sep 10, 2016 3:01 AM in response to Tyberius13by OGELTHORPE,The fact is that there is a bug in the program that generates that display and the data should not be trusted and even if you rebuild the Spotlight index, it is not a guarantee that the errors will be corrected.
I suggest that one 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.
