#Omnidisksweeper sudo windows

Just keep those windows up & wait for them to finish - for the sizes you're dealing with this could take potentially hours. You'll see that under the size field they're 'Calculating Size'. For any folders that aren't showing their size, highlight them (hold command + click to select multiple) and then hit command + i to pull up the Get Info menu for them. I would put this into 'list' view and make sure that the size option is on. Now if you open Finder, select 'Go' & 'Computer' from the menu bar, go into the drive in question. Once you've done this restart finder by clicking the apple icon in the menu bar and heading into 'Force Quit.'.

#Omnidisksweeper sudo password

Put sudo in front of that if it doesn't work - you'll have to enter your user password in this case. Here's the terminal command for finding hidden files & folders: defaults write AppleShowAllFiles YES. If that doesn't do it though you'll have to dig a bit more.

#Omnidisksweeper sudo pro

Could hopefully help me fix my MacBook Pro as well, as I don't have high hopes for Apple (and I have no useable backups of that computer).First of all, empty your trash, reboot & try out disk utility again if you haven't already. If you find any alternative causes / other solutions I'd love to know. My take on this issue (at least in my case) seems to be that this may not be a hackintosh-related issue at all, but is in fact some problem with macOS.

#Omnidisksweeper sudo software

Apple refused to provide service options (even software based) due to me running a beta os, so I'll try again in a few weeks when its released and more stable. Running on macOS Catalina I'm currently still unable to perform time machine backups on that computer. My MacBook Pro would actually be unable to complete backups because it had some pending backups that were stuck, which kept using up more storage over time. I'm just not willing to try that on my hackintosh because I use it as a work machine (which can be risky at times) and I don't want to risk any data loss. Deleting all local backups and disabling time machine solved the issue. It seemed to be linked to time machine backups. I actually faced a similar problem on my MacBook Pro.

On my hackintosh, the issue ended up resolving itself after I upgraded to a new drive and started time machine backups on a new, empty drive. Samsung 840PRO 256GB (macOS High Sierra 10.13.x)ĮDIT: Turns out that an installed application for syncing data, had for some reason synced files more than once and macOS treated these as system files

My Late 2011 Macbook Pro, which uses a Samsung 850EVO and has 'sudo trimforce enable' executed as well, does not have the same issue, so seems something with the CustoMac. Looking at the systemdrive about 220GB are used by the system itself, which makes no sense, as nothing is really installed yet. I have a Samsung 840PRO 256GB and trim support is enabled with 'sudo trimforce enable'. Suddenly yesterday evening when I wanted to use it, the system was complaining about the disk being full. The computer has been running fine over the weekend and was not turned off. I have recently reinstalled my CustomMac, so that I had fresh start with High Sierra. (Its actually constantly decreasing, now down to 211.44).

#Omnidisksweeper sudo free

Any help would be really appreciated !Įdit: While writing this post, my free storage in system information decreased to 211.92GB. CCC's cloned drive is showing pretty much the same amount of free space as my main drive, so the storage has to be somewhere but I have no clue where. I can't figure out where this storage is coming from. Tried talking to Apple about where I could look or what I could try in order to track down the source of this storage, but I got the boot for not running on original hardware for this machine (despite owning many apple products). Double checked disk utility, there is no other partitions on this drive, I've used this exclusively for my hackintosh for over 2 years without any issues. I also checked EFI, but this did not have any significant storage used either.

Manually checked every parent folder inside /, /System/library/, /library, ~/, and ~/library including all hidden files and I could not find any abnormally large storage space used in any folder. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
