- Apr 19, 2017 Contrary to information on other forums, you can use DaisyDisk to delete hidden files, if you wish. Bottom line, if you don't 'see' a file, or files, that are obviously taking up space, I strongly suggest you try 'DaisyDisk' to see if you have some hidden files that are hogging space.
- Besides, DaisyDisk now shows a breakdown of the hidden space that includes the following items: Purgeable space. (You can also see it in Finder and Disk Utility when you inquire info for a disk). This is an amount of disk space, as calculated.
In Finder, highlight the drive & do a Get Info on it, what does that report for free space?
How To Reveal The Hidden Space
- macOS Mojave or later: You may see a lot of hidden space if you deny DaisyDisk access to your Calendar, Photos, Contacts and other privacy-sensitive folders. The system shows you the corresponding dialogs and remembers your choices the first time you scan your disk. In case if you deny the access, the size of hidden space will grow by the corresponding amount, while some folders on the map will appear empty. To override your previous choices, you can open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, go to the Privacy tab and add DaisyDisk to the “Full Disk Access” list. Then rescan your disk. DaisyDisk will not read the actual content of your private data, only the metadata (such as name and size). This approach is recommended in Apple's official WWDC 2018 video which mentions DaisyDisk as an example (begin at 9:22).
- Use the scan as administrator command. The hidden space should disappear, or become significantly smaller by size. And in reverse, some other folders will grow in size correspondingly, and restricted files and folders will become visible here and there on your disk.
- Note that some small amount of hidden space (a few GB) may still remain even after scanning as administrator. This is normal. Usually this space is used by the file system itself.
- When you delete a file or folder and Time Machine is turned on, the system may not delete the files entirely, but move them to the purgeable space, causing it to grow by the corresponding amount. However, the system often delays updating the size of the purgeable space by few minutes. During this delay, you may temporarily see the hidden space being “borrowed” by the equal amount. DaisyDisk will automatically refresh (without rescanning) the numbers or hidden and purgeable space after the system updates them globally.
- Also, just after you delete the purgeable space, you may temporarily see the hidden space being “borrowed” by the corresponding amount. Please allow some time (from few seconds to few minutes) before the system completes reclaiming the purgeable space in the background. The purging may be additionally delayed if the Time Machine is in process of backing up.
- If you are using third-party backup tools such as Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), they can create their own file system snapshots. Unlike the Time Machine snapshots, the third-party snapshots are not counted toward the purgeable space, but toward the still hidden space. You can check for presence of any third-party snapshots using tmutil listlocalsnapshots / command in Terminal. In order to reveal and delete such snapshots, please use the corresponding third-party apps. For example, here’s how you delete a snapshot created by CCC.
- Large amounts of hidden disk space may also indicate errors in the file system. You can use the Disk Utility to verify and repair your disk’s integrity. In some cases, you may need to boot your Mac in Recovery mode and run the Disk Utility from there.
- In the most obstinate cases with APFS disks, you may need to use the lower-level fsck_apfs command-line utility to verify and repair the APFS volume from the Recovery mode.
- Similarly, for HFS+ disks, you may need to use fsck_hfs. Beside verifying, you can use it to repair the HFS+ catalog file. WARNING: this operation may not be safe for your data! You should make a full backup of your disk before trying. Please seek professional help on the matter.
- Some backup tools are known to leave garbage in /Volumes folder. Check it out with the Terminal app.

DaisyDisk is a paid disk space analyzer for macOS.[3] It displays a sunburst diagram of files on a hard drive to help with the location or deletion of large files.[4] It can display previews of files using Quick Look.[5][6][7] It also allows the user to look at the file directly in Finder, in order to delete it or move it elsewhere.[8]
History[edit]
Daisydisk Hidden Space Mojave Beach
DaisyDisk was started in late 2008 by interaction designer Taras Brizitsky and programmer Oleg Krupnov. They built the codebase from scratch to try to achieve higher speeds than similar programs. They decided to use a sunburst diagram as it is perceived better than other ways of visualizing data (such as treemaps).[9]
Features[edit]
DaisyDisk needs to scan the disk to create a map of its files and folders. Once the initial scan is completed, DaisyDisk keeps all displayed information up to date and reflects all changes to disk in real-time. DaisyDisk can scan multiple disks in parallel.
With v4.5[10] of DaisyDisk, support for APFS was added.[11]
Interface[edit]
DaisyDisk displays the contents as a color-coded sunburst diagram, resembling the petals of a daisy.[12] The interface places the root of the hard drive at the center of this daisy, and displays a hierarchical structure of that hard drive's file system that radiates from that center. This daisy is color-coded to differentiate between folders, while files themselves are always displayed as gray. In the right sidebar of the interface, DaisyDisk also provides a legend for these color codes. When hovering over a file or folder, the right sidebar of the interface updates with contextual information such as the file or folder name and their absolute path.[13] When clicking on a folder on the daisy, a new daisy is displayed with the chosen folder as its root. The interface shows a 'breadcrumb trail' of the current folder right above the sunburst diagram.[6]
Boot Camp is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows. Download your copy of Windows 10, then let Boot Camp Assistant walk you through the installation steps. Get started with Boot Camp. Step 1: Check for software updates. Before you install Windows, install all macOS updates. On your Mac, log in as an administrator, quit all open apps, then log out any other users. Choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Software Update, then install all available updates. Dec 06, 2012 On Lion Macs and later only Windows 7 is supported on BootCamp. More so now that XP is EOL'd and not supported even by its maker. The virtualizers (VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop, Oracle VirtualBox) support a far wider range of Windows versions, but performance will be reduced. Boot camp for mac 10.7.5 download.
DaisyDisk provides a Trash-like collector icon in the lower left of its interface where files and folders can dragged and dropped for deletion.[13]
Free zaytoven pack. As of DaisyDisk v3, a specialized version of the app exists for Mac users with Retina Displays.[14]

Integration[edit]
One of the ways DaisyDisk integrates with the Mac features is through its support of the Quick Look function, which is included in Mac OS X v10.5 'Leopard' and later. Hovering over any file or folder in DaisyDisk's interface and pressing space bar utilizes Quick Look and displays additional information about that file or folder in regards to its location and contents.[12] Numark pro 2 driver.
