UPDATE: TUAW reader "ithinkergoimac" comments below that OmniDiskSweeper may report incorrect (significantly increased) file sizes if you are using TimeMachine. It may not have as many bells and whistles as some of the other programs out there, but it's hard to beat OmniDiskSweeper for ease of use.
USING OMNIDISKSWEEPER FREE
The Omni Group made OmniDiskSweeper (along with several other utilities) free a few months ago, so if you looked at it and were turned off by a price tag, give it another look.
USING OMNIDISKSWEEPER INSTALL
Do you have a computer where you could install OmniDiskSweeper, sweep the HD, unload a large folder, sweep again and check if it reports the new size correctly immediately before On My Mac gets it thanks. Example: i already delete Garage Band ( unbale to locate any files related to that) but in Omni, it still show alot of files in Garage Band folder ( LIBRARY) attached photo. It would be interesting to have that confirmed from dx side. I tyr the sudo command in terminal already. They will not be sent to the Trash (since the assumption is that you are running OmniDiskSweeper because you want to reclaim diskspace), they will be deleted immediately. I want to use OmniDiskSweeper to see this. A word of warning! A warning dialogue box will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to "Destroy" the files. OmniDiskSweeper makes it easy to delete files right through the app simply select the file and click the big red "Delete" button. Instead of moving the files to the external drive, they had just been moved into a folder in /Volumes/. A friend recently used OmniDiskSweeper and realized that he had tried to copy a bunch of files to an external hard drive, but something had gone wrong. You might also find files in unexpected places. It uses the same "Column View" that I use in Finder, and automatically sorts the folders which use the most disk space to the top.įor example, looking at the Drobo, I can see that about 50% of the space on that device is taken up by programs I have recorded using Elgato's EyeTV. I like OmniDiskSweeper for two reasons: it is free and it is simple.
Choosing one may be as personal as which Twitter client or web browser you prefer. Now, there are a number of different programs out there for analyzing your hard drive space: DiskInventoryX, GrandPerspective, Baseline, DaisyDisk, and WhatSize, to name just a few. Not now Turn on Turned on Turn onĮnter OmniDiskSweeper, a freeware program by The Omni Group which will allow you to find where your diskspace has gone. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
