Hi!
I think i will move it back as it didn’t actually free up the space i
wanted.
But clean My Mac is going to pick on me a lot then.

Hello,
Sorry, but I don’t have the answers to this. I know the general
concepts but I have never tried to move a home directory with a system
as managed as MacOS is.

Hi!
The trash has been empty but the Icloud thing you mentioned is
something to considder.
Can i check this somewhere in the system prefs?
THe home directory is changed in the system prefs so i won’t try the
suggested mount command as of yet.
Thanks for your response.

A couple of things to think about.
1. Has the trash been emptied.
2. Is iCloud using up a bit of that space? If iCloud sync process
keeps files opened then even if they are deleted they will not free
up disk space until all open file systems for the disk are closed.
(perhaps reboot).
3. Did you properly modify things in the users panel to indicate
that your home disk is on a separate partition?
4. You might consider Leaving the home directory where it is, and
just move music / mail or other large file blocks to the external
drive.
Not sure if below is possible in MacOS.
5. If external disk is mounted as /Users and you have a /Users with
content on it on the root disk partition, then none of the files in
/Users on the root disk can be accessed. I say this might not be
possible, because by default MacOS uses the auto mounter to mount
USB external devices under the /Volumes directory. The UNIX mount
command can replace any directory on the root partition with another
partition ..
mount /Users/jcohn/funk /dev/sd01a1
for example would do what you would expect.
But then /jcohn/funk if it has files in it would not be visible.
Maybe this helps??

Hi!
I moved my home folder to an external usb drive in order to free up
some space on my main harddisk.
THe main harddisk is the built-in 500GB drive on my Macbook air.
But when i moved the home folder and removed it from the main
harddisk i still have 400Gig of space busy.
SO i don’t know what takes up so much space.
I have tried to clean up space with both Onyx and clean my mac with
no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
