Hi listers,
I am experiencing some strange behavior and am hoping someone can help.
Recently, I copied a folder with a substantial amount of music from an
external drive. The folder was about 18 GB in size. Here's the
interesting part.
Although finder shows that my available disk space has been decreased
by 18 GB, the finder only shows the music folder as being 4 GB in
size. Similarly, I can only view the 4 GB or so of music. The rest of
the files are there but inaccessible.
Thinking the folder was corrupt, I deleted it. However, I only got 4
GB of space back. There's still about 14 gigs that finder says is no
longer free, and yet I can't see the files occupying that space.
What's going on here? Do I not have permission to view the rest of the
files in that folder? How do I go about reclaiming my disk space? I
don't even care about the music at this point, I just really want this
fixed.
Thanks for any info about this.
Sincerely,
John
