Macintosh HD icon 'free space' info is wrong.
Perhaps related, my Macintosh HD desktop icon's free space info is rarely accurate. (I have "Show item info" checked, so that I can see total space and free space.) Finder says one thing, the icon says another. Sometimes it's been off by 10GB! I don't think it's related to Trash, because I usually leave it empty.

This is because the info in the icon is updated only the next time Finder is restarted. If you do a "get info" on the hard disk though, then the free space shown is correct. So you need to quit Finder and when it restarts then the free space info will be correct - Just press Command-option-escape and relaunch finder, the info will be correct. As an alternative type df -h in the terminal - this always shows the correct disk space info for all mounted disks

copying any file into the base directory will cause the size or free space to be re-calculated |
