how to see all files on external hard drive I have 200g of content on my 500g External Hard Drive but according to "get info" 471g of space is being used up, what am I not seeing?
(To arrive at 200g I manually added all folder sizes using 'get info') Could it be hidden trash?
Yes, it was simply that the trash was not emptied: I have learnt that to remove items from an External Hard Drive I must empty the trash while it is connected!  Otherwise the files remain hidden but using space up on the drive.
