What you're missing is the way Apple does the math. Your available storage space is being dynamically allocated between what is actually used and what's still available for use by Mac or some other installation, like BootCamp. At least, that's what apfs is doing. The wolf writes: > the mac book

You need to learn to use diskutil from the command line. This is best accomplished by ssh into the Mac from another machine, because you're more likely to get good screen reader support that way. Voice Over isn't the best when run in Terminal, which is the native way to do this. Note that
