The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. If you see a message that your username 'is not in the sudoers file,' then you're not logged in as an administrator. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Paste into the Terminal window ( command-V). Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: Sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer. If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. To see everything, you have to run it as root. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking it only sees files that you have permission to read. Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.

Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.ĭeleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files. To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That will temporarily free up some space. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:

It sound like you're pushing limits on resources overall.First, never download anything from CNET.Įmpty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Have you checked to see that you have no additional updates for WIN10 or Parallels? I am sure your new drive will make a difference.

I did not update it to Catalina because after updating my desktop to Catalina I have had many more issues and old reliable tools do not work any more, some have no newer version and Cat is strict. It is handy for camera work in the field.

I also have a late 2013 MacBookPro Retina with even less storage but I only use it for a portable device as needed. Not saying that is the cause, but it would be the first place I'd be looking.

Don't forget that it is as vulnerable installed on Mac as it is on a PC so be sure you have a current AV to keep out the nasty things. The Win install in its own compartment on Mac for using with Parallels was a resource hog. Since then when I needed Win for some work, I got a low end PC just to keep them apart. Years ago I used Parallels to translate old work files. Look into your settings also as Catalina has different everything for backups.

You can go to your Applications folder > Utilities directory and use Disk Utility to see how each partition is using its space.

What should I be looking for as a problem? This morning, after re-booting, the 'Macintosh HD' is showing 900MB free but it seems something is filling the disk space as quickly as I can delete files. When I tried to copy the same folder back to the Mac, I got an 'Insufficient space' message. At one point in that process, I copied a folder off the hard drive and deleted it and then realized that I probably needed it. Last night, I literally moved a couple of GB of data to a USB device, deleted it from main memory and then emptied the 'Trash'. Very recently, however, it doesn't matter how much I remove from the Hard Disk, when I reboot the computer, I almost immediately get a 'You have run out of disk space' message. (I have a 1TB SSD on order but it has not yet arrived)ġ50GB really is insufficient but It used to be that I could offload large files to a USB storage device, clean up some clutter, restart and the computer would be good for a few weeks. The Hard drive is partitioned into 150 Gb for the Mac and 100 Gb for Parallels, Windows 10. I have late 2013 MacBookPro Retina with a 256 Gb SSD, running MacOS 10.15 Catalina and something keeps filling up the hard disk.
