Disk Utility Showing Incorrect Free Space : OSX : How To Fix Tutorial

Saved me!!! Thnx

Thank you so much. It kept showing I had 77 gb left even after deleting over 100gb. I did this and have over 300gb free now. Incredible fix.

Absolute life saver, haven't seen this anywhere else. Thanks a million

BLESS YOU FOR THIS

after deleting snapshot how do you identify its deleted on disk please reply

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much! Helped me to keep my map running!

I don't understand why they make this sort of thing so complicated but for all that's good in the world, thank you. Saved me from a wee breakdown X

Finally a proper solution to this problem! Thanks a lot.

Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for. 🙌

Thank you so much this is the right anwer for my problem " Give this man a Beer"

THANK YOU - I searched around for about an hour to solve this issue and your video was not only identified the issue but gave me a fast solution and taught me something new. Cheers!

Wow, I just couldn't figure out where I was losing space prior to an upgrade, I found 10 snapshots! Thank you so much!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for this. I was trying to restore my Photos library (160GB) from Icloud and it was telling me that I did not have enough space - contrary to About this Mac (which told me that I had 400G free). The disk utility said I only had 70GB. I followed your instructions and all is well. 

It is intereesting to note that I currently also have a problem with Time-Machine which is stuck in updating. Obviously these two propblems are related.

Why is this not more widely documented.

From 19 Gb free to 822 Gb free. Goddamn stupid, but big thanks for this valuable tip!

Wow thanks! Went from 18GB available to 71GB

OMG!!! Thank you so much for this! You are the man!!

best! thx a lot!

This was a life saver, thank you! Imagine you're a user with a 95% full disk, wanting to update the OS with security fixes, but the update process errs out because there's not enough space. Alas, removing files doesn't make a difference and you're stuck! Just because the Time Machine snapshotter thinks it knows better than the user and keeps hogging the space. Unbelievable.

Very useful! Thank you!

thank you very much it was very helpful.......

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

For me, tmutil listlocalsnapshots / results in: Snapshots for disk /: and nothing else. I have the same problem described. I previously ran first aid in recovery mode. I hope I can get this figured out to get my space back. Thanks for the video.

THANK YOU SO EFFFFFING MUCH MATE WITH LOVE FROM USA

This is a good one, thanks!

Came across the same issue this morning "About this Mac", "Storage" was showing 130gb free, yet "Disk Utility" was showing 13gb free 😢. Followed your instructions and both now showing 130gb free! 🥳. Thank you! 🙏

So, if you use the up key, you can go back to the last command, keep pressing you go back farther for each press. Most users benefit from knowing this. If you did, just explain how it works. If you didn’t, it would cut out a lot of your typing.
