Finder displays wrong size?

According to Finder, the size of my file user (tamas) is 78 GB. If I add the sizes of files and subfolders, it occupies about 50 GB.

According to my estimates, about 50 GB should be correct.

My basket is empty.

What can be the reason for the difference? How can I make Finder calculate sizes right?

There may be hidden files or temporary files in the folder.

You can show these files/folders, but under no circumstances should throw out you anything which is not openly garbage. Mac OS makes invisible files because in most cases the user should not change anything, and it's in your interest not to throw everything you do not recognize. You can post back here where you will find something and would like to have an opinion on what it is, so proceed with caution:

to view hidden folders

  1. Open Terminal found in Finder > Applications > utilities.
  2. In the Terminal, paste the following text:

write QLEnableXRayFolders AppleShowAllFiles YES.

  1. Press return.
  2. Hold down the "Option/alt" key, then right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click on recovery.

    When you open my computer or Windows Explorer, there is an option to display the 'size', but it does not for the record, only the files in the folders. How can I automatically see sizes of the entire folder without going through a right click and see the properties on each folder or without having to go on the record?

    Hello

    Windows Explorer has never included the ability to display folder sizes.

    There are third-party modules that can do it. Use your favorite search engine to find these.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Glimpses of well site in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all of the text is the wrong size

    I'm a web designer from recruit. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com when I presented a preview site in Dreamweaver, it seemed fine in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All of the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? It has something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site in the directory a hourago and put this new site in its place) Why IE will display correctly, but not Firefox...

    Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file.  It's pointing to a file on your hard disk local that no one but you can see.

    Open your template and reconcile the path to the folder of your site.  Probably, it should look like this:

    Save the model.  Fill out the changes made to the pages of the child.  Download the child pages.

    I El capitan, but stopped opening safari says impossible to find something wrong with the application extension

    You can open it by accessing it in the Applications folder? If so, you may have a corrupt Dock alias. Click and hold the alias and make it about 1 inch away from the docking station, then release. Then drag the application in the Applications folder in the Dock to create a new alias. When you have a new alias, control - click/Options/keep in Dock.

    How much free space is a iPhone? Use the settings app to find out.

    Settings > General > storage > storage section is at the top.

    Did you remove photos from the film? If so, the photos transferred from the recently deleted album. They can remain there for 30 days allow for their recovery. But if you need to free up space on the iPhone you should remove again the album photos recently deleted.

  • Windows Explorer displays the size of the file in KB?

    I have windows 7 32 bit.

    How can I change the sizes of MB or GB instead of KB file?

    Windows automatically selects which unit to display the size of files, depending on the size. For very small files, the size will be displayed in KB since its more convenient to have 57 KB instead of 0,0057 MB, for example. You cannot change this setting.
