User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/312.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312.6 Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317) My Hard Drive capacity is 233.74 GB. Right now it says 229.67 GB used with 4.07 GB available. However, in actuality if I add up everything on my drive I am only using approx 35 GB. I assumed it was a operating system problem so I have been troubleshooting through Apple. Disk Utility says drive is OK. Now I just noticed and have confirmed that every time I throw away e-mail with attached files my hard drive space diminishes! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete e-mail with attachment 2 [review]. Delete out of trash 3. Check Hard Drive space Actual Results: Hard Drive space decreases Expected Results: Nothing Mac OS 10.3.9
you have to do a file | compact folders to reclaim disk space after deleting messages.
