Hello all,
I have a Powerbook G4, 1.67, 2G memory, Dual Layer, 17". I have the 120G hard drive split into two partitions, one at 25G for the OS, and the other has all my media on it; iTunes, movies, iPhoto, etc.
My problem is that the OS partition keeps shrinking, and I can't seem to figure out why. Finder and iStat Pro both report that I've used 16.7G and have 8G free, but when I open my OS partition in Finder and do a "calculate all sizes", I only show a total of 12.5G being used.
I've looked into programs like What Size, Omni, Disk Inventory X, etc. I've run Cache Out and Mac Janitor; I even deleted my preferences folder. No luck. Where's 4 Gigs gone to? Checked my .trashes, ran Monolingual and deleted all the foreign stuff. Still, missing about 4 Gigs.
The only thing I found in What Size was a 2 Gig "sleep image" file, but it wouldn't let me delete it. I also understand that there's a portion of the drive that's reserved for hidden system files and the like, but dayum... seems like a large chunk of my OS partition has vanished, and the amount of free space shrinks daily for no apparent reason.
Ran through the forums here, and haven't come across anything new to try. Any ideas?
