Missing DISK SPACE

[marianafelix]

Hello, I have a problem with my disk space.
I've been editing some videos in iMovie... but every time I do, when I erase them from my hard drive, I have less disk space. I don't understand why, but every time I create a iMovie project, I'm left with less and less disk space.

I was wondering if any of you could help me find my missing space. I don't know if there are any temporary files hidden, but I really need my space.

Thanks a lot...

Hello, the next time that you open iMovie look at the garbage can icon at the bottom- right on the iMovie's window then click on it. When the trash window pops up hit the delete button to empty the trash.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I've already tried this... but every time I open I movie, my trash can is in zero kb. Still, I don't know where to find my missing disk space... is there anything else you could think of that I could do to recover it?

Are you deleting your iMovie project files?

Yes I am...

Strange, you can try cleaning out your user and system caches and removing temporary files and logs but this more than likely won't result in a substantial gain of disc space. However, it's possible. I take it that you have rebooted your Mac and emptied the Mac's trash as well, correct?

If you are using iMovie '08, have a look in your Movies folder found at:

MacintoshHD ~> YourUserAccount ~> Movies

iMovie '08 creates 2 folders there; iMovie Events & iMovie Projects ....

You might also want to try a Spotlight search using the names of your movies as keywords (if you can remember them) ... you never know what might turn up?

WhatSize is a handy app for analizing what's taking up space on your Macs HD.
