Thanks Cara,
THis was a fascinating read. It didn't solve my issue because time machine
snapshots are currently only using 1.6 MB. Something called "other" is using
up 94 gb of 250 gb with no indication of what "other" is.
I learned a lot from reading the article though.

Hi Erik,
It sounds like you may have your local backups enabled. If you have Time
Machine enabled but do not have your backup drive connected, TM saves backups
to your local drive.
Needless to say, this can take up an awful lot of space and be incredibly
confusing to trace if you are not aware
Hi, I did have a look at activity monitor today when I happened to be sitting
in front of my computer and heard the fan spin up.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but it wasn't apparent to me which piece of

the old drive professionally installed into this macbook and it has been a
workhorse, often running 24/7 for weeks or months at a t
Have you checked your activity monitor? It can show you what process is eating
up all that space. Once you’re aware of which process is causing the issue we
can start narrowing down a good solution.

Hello Erik,
Is your SSD one you installed yourself? If so, could Trim Enabler have stopped
working?
Safari can also eat up space, but your situation sounds much too drastic to be
Safari misbehaving.
Cheers,

Hi, I'm having a very strange problem. At first I believed it might be my
4-year-old SSD showing it's age, but I don't know...
Last week my mac reported that I was low on disk space. So, I moved 20 gb of
files off into storage drives. An hour after moving all the files, my mac
again reported
