Hello!
I have a problem that I had only noticed this week, it's really weird. I have a MacBook Air from 2013, running OS X El Capitan with 120 GB internal storage space.
My Mac has been showing (for the past year I believe) that my disk is whether “almost full” or “full”. At first I somehow only thought I had really little space on the computer, but then I noticed that even though I deleted all of my movies, the Mac still showed I had 38,21 GB of movies on my computer (?!). Of course I checked via spotlight and a search through “all my files” for any potential files with any kind of a “movie” extension that could eat up so much space, but there weren't any! Also when I arrange the files in the folder “all my files” by size, there just isn't enough of any big files to eat up so much space.
I have searched through the internet for some answers and found some people with similar problems, but I can't seem to find a solution.
I'm going crazy, because it is beginning to seriously slow down my work. Please help!
This is a photo of my storage from “about my mac”:
I know that I have 16GB of photos on my Mac and about 18GB of music. But for “other” and “movies” I really don't know where did they get this number?!
