Users/your_user/Library/Application Support Users/your_user/Maildir/your_mailaccount01/Deleted Itemsĥ.4G. This will produce a list of file space usage, something like: 3.2G. To determine where storage is occupied continue in the terminal and change to the root folder using cd / then run sudo du -sh * | sort -h. You should see something like this (it is somewhat redundant if you already followed the first point in this list): $ df -hįilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on The -h flag returns a ‘human readable form’ meaning return in the familiar megabyte/gigabyte format.

Nothing catches my eye from this list: $ sudo du -h | sort -hĢ.0G. I ran this du command on /Volumes/Macintosh HD, and here is the list of folders with over 2 GB. I also know about How can I figure out what's slowly eating my drive space? and tried some of the tools there. Now I have the same issue and cannot find the culprit. Note: A few years ago I asked Terminal command to identify and clear runaway system storage and solved it with OmniDiskSweeper. How can I find the culprit of runaway system storage?
