![]() I started to analyze if I can recuperate space using TechTool or CleanMyMac but the alert of TechTool remained. After doing so for some 10 GB the warning remained. First I moved big files to an external drive and deleted them on the Flash Disk. I am out of options! What to do? Reinstall MacOS? Kill Time Machine (which has finished MULTIPLE backups in the meantime to other external drives)? HELP! I am down to 50 GB free on my boot up drive (internal).ĭeleted files not purged by the system When I got notified by TechTool that my Flash Disk runs out of space I started to look what happens.

I have moved those files to a fast SSD on Thunderbolt 3. ![]() I have many "home videos" in the Mac TV app. Mac Ventura (fully updated) on iMac M1 with 8GB memory and 1TB internal SSD Large Trash Empty - Ventura - Disk Space was not recovered OK - I have waited 2 days (48 hrs at least) for my disk space to return. How can I get Disk Utility and Finder to update to the correct values for my HD? SuperDuper still thinks the space needed exceeds its allotment on my BU drive, which is 300G.Ģ020 Mac Mini M1, OS 12.6 Searching online talks about Purgeable Storage Space. I have restarted several times no change. After doing that, I got the above values. I deleted that file and 325G free is typical. Before I found and deleted, Time Machine had backed up, ran out of space, and I understand likely stored that file and others on my HD. I discovered I had accidentally recorded a “movie” using Launchpad/Screenshot and it recorded a huge file, about 250G. I first noticed this when SuperDuper told me my HD had 475G used, which I knew couldn’t be right and would result in not enough space for the backup. My 500G Mac Mini HD free space shows different on:Ībout this Mac / System Report / Hardware / Storage - 25G free I only know the disk space warning occurred this past morning.Īnyone with ideas, I am all (virtual) ears. ![]() So I am out of directories to even look in for something and I cannot nail down exactly when the drive filled up with, well, whatever. And even even when SCP fails, I have never know it to ever leave large, unfindable remnants behind? Last night I was attempting a large upload to AWS via scp (~2.24 TB) from an external drive (connected via USB 3) and that dropped at some point overnight with a broken pipe error, but I cannot find any issue related to that in terms of a corrupted cache or log. I use CCC as a second backup to a second (external) USB 3 SSD but its logs are clean and show no issues with any recent backups. I also removed DropBox and OneDrive and cleaned up their remnants in ~/Library in case a bad sync was causing it (shouldn't be as this machine is on 24/7, on a APC UPS 1300 and uses an ethernet connection to my router and AT&T gateway). I rebuilt the Photos library but nothing changed, same thing with rebuilding the SpotLight index. anything in /tmp or /var or ~/Library (and no core dumps or anything like that). ![]() Cache (that is currently only megabytes, less than 1GB).Storage report shows "other" is suddenly 706.77GB (free space is 30.8GB) and command+I on the drive also confirms free space is only 30.8GB. So I got a disk space warning on my Mac Mini today (2018 intel model - 6 core, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD).
