Why is there 100gb of other on my Mac?
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data.
To view this folder—it might be hidden on your Mac—choose the Go menu in the Finder, press the Option key, then choose Library. This Library folder contains a lot of files you generally don’t need to see, but some of them take up a lot of space and can be deleted.
Is 99 GB a lot?
A 100GB data plan will allow you to browse the internet for around 1200 hours, to stream 20,000 songs or to watch 200 hours of standard-definition video.
What is the 50 GB of other on Mac?
“Other” houses all of your files that do not belong to any of the other categories. It also holds caches, logs, and other data that your Mac will automatically clear when storage space is needed.
The Hidden Space feature was launched last year, and it allows you to hide applications from your main app drawer. This feature allows you to keep private apps in a place where no one can see, even if they are browsing through your phone.
How much space is missing on a 500 GB hard drive?
Where is the missing space? In fact, for hard disk manufacturers 1 GB = 1000 MB, 1 MB = 1000 KB, and 1KB = 1000 B (byte), but actually 1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 MB = 1024 KB, and 1 KB = 1024 B. Therefore a 500 GB hard disk for manufacturers is just 465GB for user. Therefore, around 7% of disk space missing on a hard drive is reasonable.
Where can I find unpartitioned space on my computer?
Only partitioned space can be visible in Windows Explorer ( a partition without drive letter is invisible in Windows Explorer, too ), but we can see unpartitioned space ( also called unallocated space) in both Disk Management and Partition Wizard.

What to do if your hard drive is missing space?
In addition, if the unallocated space is generated due to deleting a partition, we can choose to recover the very partition rather than create new partition or extend partition.
