I have a 500GB SSD on my macbook running Yosemite.
Recently, I have been getting a lot of out-of-disk space message. I have been deleting and deleting. According to every disk usage application I have tried (including Disk Expert, Disk Wave, Omni Disk Sweeper) I am using about 130GB.
- 32 GB Applications
- 10 GB Library
- 8 GB System
- 80 GB Users
Yet the Mac says only 13GB out of 512GB are free. So there is a huge discrepancy. I have cleaned log files and caches. I have run disk check which has reported no errors. I have rebooted (naturally). None of the tools above showed the missing data.
Moving to the command line, I find what looks like the symptom of the problem:
$ sudo du -cxhd 1 /
338G /.DocumentRevisions-V100
My guess then is that the versioning feature has run amok. How can I address this discrepancy between the used disk space and the free disk space?
