I’ve used DaisydiskDaisyDisk to analyse my file usage on my MacBook Pro (mid-2012mid–2012), but the numbers aren’t adding up. Of 500gb500GB, it shows ~425gb~425GB used, but the breakdown only adds up to 280gb280GB. The diagram itself shows a big gap, so what’s going on? What else can I use to track down this drive usage?
