Maybe other users reading this thread do? Should you manage to identify what's taking up the missing space, please share this here.
Grandperspective miscelaneous used space how to#
I unfortunately do not have suggestions on how to continue the analysis. Neither this du scan nor the GrandPerspective scan managed to identify what is taking up the other space.

So if you have a 1 TB drive, that should leave you with approximately 711 GB of free space. It's mainly in Users (174 GB), System files (49 GB + 19 GB), Library (23 GB) and Applications (22 GB). The du utility reports that you are using 289 GB of your disk. (Maybe you can in this thread also include a screenshot of the GrandPerspective scan results, with Used Space, Miscellaneous Used Space and Initial Free Space) The results reported by the du (disk usage) utility matches I think fairly well what GrandPerspective reported.

But somehow Time Machine had the lost disk space in its backup records as space used, so when it tested a new drive for adequate space, it got it wrong. But Time machine was able to restore without including the lost disk space. So both Time Machine and the laptop OS were confused about what the actual utilization was, overstating it by 120 to 135 GB. The utilization on the 500 GB drive is consistent with the OmniDiskSweeper report above. I backed up the 750 GB drive to Time Machine, then successfully restored that backup to the 500 GB drive. I then tried restoring to a virgin 500 GB drive and received the message that there was not enough room on the 500 GB drive. Looking at utilization on the new drive showed that it was consistent with the OmniDiskSweeper report above. I restore from Time Machine to a 750 GB drive using the most current backup.

Storage under About This Mac shows all disk space, 498.73 GB, allocated to "other". When I look at information for what is in it, some of the big items (Applications, Developer, Library, MSI, System, and Users) add up to about 113 GB of usage, but is that real? If it is, then this might be the problem but I'm guessing I'm looking at linked folders. Information says it's an alias, so I imagine it's a link. But there is a folder with my disk volume name, "MacbookPro3". There is no folder (or volume) there by that name. It looks like there is nothing to do here.ĭf -h output: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted onĭf output: Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on I don't do this often, but I think I would have expected a report of something wrong, which I would then fix by running Repair. I ran Disk Utility Verify and the results reported are Verifying volume “MacbookPro3”

Are there any other tools that might tell me where the rest is, or why it is tagged as used? So, by OmniDiskSweeper's account, I have about 140 GB unaccounted for. I htought I used it to scan the whole disk in the past.) (By the way, GrandPerspective version 1.5.1 doesn't seem to be able to scan the whole disk, only folders. I also ran GrandPerspective on the ~Users folder, and it accounted for only 266 GB, which is 21.1 GB short of what OmniDiskSweeper reports. (I got this by running sudo open OmniDiskSweeper.app, which gave the same result as running it without the sudo. OmniDiskSweeper reports a bit more than 358.64 GB once it seems to have settled to final values: Users 287.2 GB I looked at some of the other Q&A here and didn't see a duplicate of this one (e.g., How can I figure out what's slowly eating my HD space? and other linked and related questions).įinder reports that my 500 GB drive is using 499.248 GB.
