djet Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't know why this happened, but for about 2 hours my macbook would not update the size of my desktop folder, making me think that I had 10gb unaccounted for, not really that bad but when you're trying to create room for a new partition it can throw you off....

hecker Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That's weird. Maybe some hidden files? Did you check via terminal? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140104-lol-my-macbook/#findComment-996366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn0le Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Are you sure it wasn't just the fact that the trash wasn't emptied? OSX stores the trashed files in a fidden folder in their original location. And when you delete a file and empty the trash, the space will be freed.
