Tell me more ×  I'm running Snow Leopard on a Late 2009 unibody
MacBook.  At the moment I was trying to do some late spring
cleaning, and clearing up some HDD space. Now here's the weird
part:  My User's folder shows that it occupies 179 GB of space.
However when I go into the folder and add up the usage of all
sub-folders and files within it, it comes to somewhere about
75GB.  I'm just very curious as to where the other 104 GB
resides.  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!  share|improve
this question Could it be files in ~/.Trash/ or ~/Library/? How
did you get the size of the home folder and the combined sizes?
Do they match du -sh ~? –  Lauri Ranta Sep 2 '12 at 7:08 In
addition to the good comment above to check actual disk usage, I
would want to run disk utility and verify the catalog and other
file system structures to be sure that isn't causing the
discrepancy. –  bmike Sep 2 '12 at 9:53 Could this be related to
