Jayenkai	Reminder to Self : Don't Do Apple Betas The MacOS Beta went nice and smooth, and all the new features were going "Weee, boing, \o/yeay\o/" Until they weren't, and now the Mac is going "OMG! YEW GOT NO SPAAICE!!!" every few minutes. Gosh, I wonder why, MacOS.. I wonder why my 512Gb drive is pretty much completely full, even after removing Xcode and offloading all my photos. I wonder why my drive is screaming like there's no tomorrow. I wonder why, Apple... Fucking betas, man.. Don't do it.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Finally found it.. I've been scouring the drive for well over a week, using all manner of "Scan my Drive", "Clean my Mac" and manual folder searching.. I found the bastard. /Users/Your Account/Library/Metadata/CoreSpotlight/Priority Spotlight. It was Spotlight. Over 250Gb of data in a single folder. Deleted what files looked deletable and rebooted. Will let you know if it happens again. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Qube	Bloody hell, that sucked up a lot a space!!!! Glad you found out what was causing it. I shall add this into my notebook as a "WTF! Apple fix" -=-=- Until the next time...
