  1. How to track recent usage of hard drive space?


    I was surprised to find, shortly after freeing up more than 15% of my hard disk space, that I was receiving notifications of being back down to less than 1GB available.I'm trying to figure out what's causing this. Is there a way to track what has recently filled up my hard disk space? I would like to pinpoint when exactly I went from having plenty of space to almost none at all.

    :)

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Have you tried deleting temporary files?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from checked the hidden files?
