Has anyone else experienced issues with disk space utilization on MacOS Sequoia? It seems that the reported numbers have become increasingly disconnected from reality. Recently, I made significant changes to my file system that should have resulted in a 200GB increase in available space.
However, Sequoia claims I have only saved 10GB. To add to my frustration, Omni Disk Sweeper, a tool I typically rely on for accurate real-time tracking of disk usage, has also become unreliable. Now, it reports the same overview numbers as MacOS, although its detailed directory summaries still seem to function correctly.
Although I am aware that I have more disk space than what is being reported, I am concerned about the potential for running out of disk space in the future. It is unsettling to think that I may underestimate my available resources based on the inaccurate information provided by MacOS. I don’t want to find myself in a situation six months down the line, thinking I have sufficient space, only to discover that I am mistaken due to these inconsistencies.
This situation raises questions about the reliability of the tools at our disposal for managing disk space on MacOS. While the detailed summaries from Omni Disk Sweeper are still trustworthy, the overview figures have lost credibility. This inconsistency poses a challenge for users who rely on accurate data for effective file management.
As we navigate this issue, it remains crucial to find solutions that restore faith in the system’s reporting mechanisms.
