Just to update everyone, I eventually figured out part of the problem. This Mac
came with Mountain Lion, so my Mavericks upgrade held onto the legacy versions
of Numbers, Pages, and iMovie. All told, erasing those three, plus the current
version of iMovie since I never use it, freed up around te
Hi!

Warning: if your going to earase some voices, then you do so at your own risk.
I would highly recommend not getting rid of the compact voices. I found out the
hard way when I got rid of one of these, I was unable to get it back despite
downloading the HQ of that voice again. The only way I was a
I believe you go to /library/voices, but I might have that path wrong. In
either the system library folder or your current user account's library folder,
though, you will find a folder containing all the voices your Mac has, sorted
into a folder for each speech synthesizer provider. Simply erase
Really? I never knew time machine did that? I thought it just tried once
an hour to connect to the backup drive and if it couldn't connect it
just failed and tried again later. Apparently this isn't actually the
case. I learn something new every day.

Hi!
How do i do this?
I have some voices i do not use but can't figure out how to remove them?
Is it just to uncheck them in the voiceover utilities?

Alex, just a thought but have you over time downloaded more than one voice fro
the Voiceover Utility?
I know this wouldn't be the reason why your hard drive should be filling up so.
However, if you have more than one voice that you don't use anymore, maybe it
might be worth it getting rid of it
Thanks for the tip, but I'm not using Time Machine on this computer. Honestly,
I'm just waiting for iCloud Drive with Yosemite, then I'll buy 250GB and dump
my stuff in there. For now, though, no backups, which is why my essentials live
in Dropbox. Not ideal, but it works for the moment.

Hi Alex,
MacBooks have a background process that makes hourly backups if you
have Time Machine enabled. These backups will accumulate into a "local
backup," and until you connect the machine to your time machine drive
they will take up space.
I'm not sure if you're using time machine, but it's des

It's reporting the disk space usage in 512-byte blocks by default, but there
are options to change this to report in megabytes, gigabytes, etc. See the
du(1) manual
Jason,
Interesting. Haven't used that one before. Thanks for the info. What is the
command actually reporting? I tried it on a folder on my Desktop and it
returned "40806224 /Users/Me/Desktop/Folder_name" whereas the Finder's Get Info
window returns 20.89 GB.
Later...

That looks useful, thanks.
OS X also includes the du command, which
I'll look that up, thanks. The odd thing is that the 18GB of my account
includes the 15GB virtual machine, it's not a separate partition or anything.
As I said, I really try to keep this as bare as possible. I just erased
iMovie, the new and old versions, and that gave me about 4.5GB of space.
Alex,
Between the System and Library files and your Applications, you likely use 15
to 20 GB. So, add that to your 18 GB of the user account plus the 15 GB of
partition for Windows, you're getting pretty tight. There's an app I've used
fairly often called Disk Inventory X that will go through
Hi all,
Thanks to Tim's advice, I was able to log into that old account, but it was
empty. So, my 64GB Air has only 2GB free, yet the only active user account's
folder is just 18GB in size. Two questions:
1. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be taking up all my space, and
how to find i
