That takes a lot of space on my MacBook Pro?
All data is as it should be, but what about the 'other' segment, only about 600 MB is data real that I added to the Mac... So I'm confused, how it is the Mac OS, and what is the rest? Why it takes so much space? I can't even get enough space to backup my iPhone?

Personally, I do not think the Division into categories very useful, and it may be inaccurate. Reindexing can help if it is inaccurate. Spotlight: how to re - index folders or volumes - Apple Support
I find it more useful to look for large files. There are instructions on how to use the Finder to search for large files in the following: OS X El Capitan: increase the disk space
OmniDisksweeper is another option to identify large files: https://www.omnigroup.com/more

Can't understand why audio files always take a lot of space on my macbook
Hi everyone, I apologize if this has been asked before, I'm going cross-eyed trying to find an answer.
Stupidly, I didn't use iCloud DOES NOT mean that all my music and photos would be stored on the cloud and take MUCH space on my macbook. I discovered the hard way. So I'm moving all my pictures and music on an external drive. All well and dandy. Except that since I moved my iTunes library and all my music files, when I look at my storage, it shows still 154 GB allocated to audio. (Meanwhile there are now 140 GB Audio on my seagate SOMETHING that was supposed to happen happened.) I've looked everywhere, I can't understand why there are still some 154 GB of audio files on my laptop. Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated. Please be lenient, I was on a pc for a few decades and finally crossed the step last year, but I'm still confused by all this cloud stuff and find my way in on a mac. (I'm on OS X Yosemite). I guess it's one thing to iTunes, but I could be far away.
Thank you in advance.
I guess that after you copied the folder iTunes external hard disk, you checked if everything is there, then deleted the folder iTunes on your Mac drive.
If NOT, then you know what to do.
If so, force Spotlight to reindex the reader.

I have Adobe creative cloud and that you may have noticed that I have mu, tiple versions of programs such as PhotoShop and After Effects, take a lot of space on my hard drive. i.e. CC of Photoshop, Photoshop CC 2014 and 2014 CC Photoshop. I can uninstall one or both of them?
CC and CC 2014 are separate apps, you can uninstall the version that is not necessary, CC 2014 is the latest version.

The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin
No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

Why Creative Cloud libraries takes a lot of space in my computer locally?
Why Creative Cloud libraries takes a lot of space in my computer locally?
Just checked inside the Application Support/Adobe/CC library and taking a lot of space locally? Can I safely remove this folder to free up space?
Library assets are synchronized and stored locally when used. It works as expected. Deletion of things will just save as missing and redownload it...

No existing pictures take a lot of space
Disk utility shows me that the photos take 8 GB of space even my photo library is empty and seeking a jpg. It shows there is no files.
What is the size of your photo library when you select it in the Finder?
An empty photo library must use only a few MB of storage:
You have emptied the album recently deleted in your photo library?
If you have migrated your photo library from iPhoto, do you still have the original iPhoto Library somewhere?

Dear community of VMWare,
I have a little problem and I would be happy if you could give some advice.
1. I have a Mackbook Pro HD 232 GB and 8 GB of RAM.
2. with the help of VMWare, I installed Windows 7 and allocated 90 GB HD and 3.5 GB of RAM.
3 OS X Disk utility confirms 90 GB of my Macbook Pro HD has been used.
4 VMWare settings also confirms that Windows has been affected 90 GB of disk space.
5 mac and Windows work fine.
Problem - Windows drive C (the only drive in my windows) has only 40 GB. I would be happy if you could help me understand where the 50 GB went.
Thanks in advance.
RE2015
On guest Windows VM, open Manager (diskmgmt.msc) disks and check if you create a partition by using all the 90 GB drive, otherwise, right-click the partition and select 'Extend', then the partition uses all unallocated space.

I have been scammed by Mindbrix last week, and this community let me know... Thank you! Is it possible that they could have installed some sort of malicious software on my Macbook Pro X or am I protected? My computer works normally at this stage.

If you don't give them access to your computer or download something on their request, you should be fine. If you allow them access or downloaded something, you must erase and reformat your hard drive, then restore your computer from a backup taken before when you allowed them access. Change your passwords and other critical information also. Not sure what software have been installed. If necessary, contact your bank to make opposition and cancel your credit card.

All updates.
The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.
Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.
After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.
So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
in Windows XP.This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

backup of the database server takes a lot of space in repository
The heart is on a R2 server in 2012. This is a new installation of 5.4.3.106 there is a base.
I'm reserved system backup and the C drive.
Drive C is 57 GB.
I made a deposit of 160 GB on a UNC path to somewhere down this server. The backup was made on 29/04/15 07:58. It's 57GB.
The repository is full now. There 3 days.
No doubt. Deduplication default cache is stored on drive C and by default is saved every hour. It's quite a lot of paperwork and is what is backed up. Especially if you have size and have a cache of large deduplication to manage your repository.
You can move that cache of deduplication for another drive and that will help there as it is very likely.
I don't know if you get something to protect the cache of deduplication, since it is not transferable in any case :(

WinSxS take a lot of space.
Hi, I see I'm not alone to ask what can be done to "reduce" of this article. He took 14.5 GB in my Vista Home premium and drive C is over 90% full.
I did the usual cleaning of but still stuck with this problem. Other answers please?
If you have not already done so, you can recover from space using programs... vsp1cln exe and compcln.exe in C:\WIndows \System32 to make the Service packs permament. This can help you 1 to 2 GB. There is nothing else you can do.
