In private there are these folders (according to Finder):Ĭan I somehow tell him to just show everything that was added after 3rd of June 2016?ĭaisyDisk showed large swapfiles in total of 12GB. Can I somehow find out, what is necessary for my system and what is "junk"? However, knowing that I had arround 100GB of free space on MacintoshHD I assume that there must be at least 10GB more somewhere else and I have the feeling that the folder MacintoshHD->"private" has grown. They make up 81GB and I am currently moving them away from my internal Drive to an external drive. In it there is the recup_dir folders typical for photorec. The folder "volume" now shows up in Finder MacintoshHD -> "Volumes" I can't express how much I'd like to thank you! Unfortunately there is no directory "Volumes" in Finder.

The directory is -> MacintoshHD -> Volumes -> recup_dir14 I am doing this on my Intel Mac with 10.9, but I decided I would post it in my somewhat "Home"-Subforum, the PowerPC community since there is already a thread here, that I remembered.Īn App called DaisyDisk helped me to find a hidden directory on MacintoshHD, that is not visible in Finder (maybe the swap file of photorec?). It began to write the recup_dir.15 onwards then during pass2.Īfter pass2 a run named bruteforce started, which looped and I learned (googled) that this happens with bigger drives and bruteforce should nly be used for small flash drives. I assumed that it is now using the 500GB MacintoshHD as some kind of swap or RAM, hence the free space filling up, until 200MB left.Īfter pass1 I was again asked to select a destination drive, this time i created a folder on my OhneTitel1 drive and selected that. The only option available was "close window". I didn't select MacintoshHD for Photorec, so it can't be holding the recup_dir.x files, I guess.ĭuring the recovery process, after pass1 the Mac GUI (Photorec itself runs in Terminal sudo) gave a notice that informed about not enough buffer (allthough I had 16GB RAM) and that therefore the recovery would take longer. "OhneTitel1" (the HDD, where the recovered files should be saved) "OhneTitel" (the HDD that files had to be recovered from) MacintoshHD (my OS, 500GB, over 100GB free) My destination HDD, where the recovered files should go has subdirectories (folders) starting with recup_dir.15. Photorec writes the recovered files in a subdirectory that it names recup_dir.1, recup_dir.2 and so on. How do I find them and how do I free the disc space?Ģ. 200MB free space left, but I can't find any data that has been added to this drive. my internal drive with the OS had something over 100GB free space, now it has ca. Successfully (StellarPhoenix Mac data recovery did fail in that attempt only finding like one frame of every movie)īad news (and here is my question: what should I do?):ġ.

Good news: Photorec can find lost DV files (like those from old iMovie Version up to iMovieHD6).
