Some additional shots from Disk Utility to help diagnosis. Good news: A file viewer like DaisyDisk Opens a new window (not free, but currently developed) or GrandPerspective Opens a new window (free, but development status unknown) will show you where the lost space is being used, and allow you to delete the offending bytes. Use OmniDiskSweeper, JDisk Report, Disk Inventory X, DaisyDisk or GrandPerspective to see how space is being used on your drive. I think it only backs up when that drive is plugged in, but maybe it is writing to 'other' The reason I mention this is that Disk Xray Lite also seems confused about disk space, claiming I have used 536GB, presumably because it has counted System > Volumes > Data > Users as well as Users, despite them appearing to be the same thing.Ģ: I replaced ~/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup with an Alias that is to an external drive. These are shown as respectively a black and grey rectangle.

With this setting enabled the view also shows the free space and the miscellaneous used space.
The application can however be configured to show the entire volume.

It may be just me misinterpreting the read out, or poor interface design on Apple's part. Alternatives to GrandPerspective Disk Inventory X 3.2 Free View how much space your files take in your Mac WhatSize 3 Trial version Measure the size of files OmniDiskSweeper 3.7 Free Free application that scans drives EasyFind 4.3 Free Powerful search tool for reaching hard-to-find files iStat Menus 3. By default the GrandPerspective views only show the files that have been scanned. Something curious but possibly unrelated thingsġ: the disk drive has that second partition "- Data" and it is listed as 500GB too. In looking at the Grandperspective scan, I can see via the entire volume view the 1TB drive split into nearly three equal pieces - the files I expect to be there, broken down into different colors, a large black square of free space, and a gray space of 'miscellaneous used space.' (Ive attached a screenshot, I think). The result is like a busy Mondrian painting on your screen. I've tried tmutil listlocalsnapshots / but nothing shows up. GrandPerspective is like a Mondrian painting, with bigger blocks representing bigger files and related content represented by the same (or similar) color.lick any block to see its size and location on your disk. I know I should have loads of space because I moved my Photos library to an external disk and I was sitting at over 100GB at that point, but in the months since then it has ticked away. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. 'Grand Perspective' reveals Volume size: 931 GB, Size of Scanned files: 409 GB, Miscellaneous Used Space: 391 GB. OmniDiskSweeper just counts what is there, but GrandPerspective shows 191GB of "Miscellaneous used space" (big grey box on the side) and System Profiler lists it as 'Other'. 2.99 Screenshots GrandPerspective is a small utility application that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. I have OS X 10.15.7 running on a 500GB SSD and OmniDiskSweeper, GrandPerspective and System Information show that I have used about 270GB but only have about 30GB free.
