Roxio Madness

I've been prepping for clean install by copying important files to dvd using Roxio Toast. Long story short, I also added material from other drives.

Once I did, and then deleted trash, I found my MB Pro's hard drive listing 1.77 gb available. At least 40 gb less than before. I used apple+i to check the size of major folders (app, lib, system, user), and they added up as they should.

Why is it not showing the correct availability? Are there temporary files somewhere, and how would I find them to delete?

best,

There are temporary files from Roxio, quite probably, and when you restart, those are gone. "Temporary."

If you truly need to, you can use something like OmniDiskSweeper to find those temp files.
 
Or create a smart folder and search for kind "any" and size "greater than, 512 MB" for example.
