disk filling up

Since installing El Capitan, my hard disk keeps filling up to the point my system says it will lose messages and emails. I also noticed I could not log out of iCloud. Lastly Activity Monitor is missing.


I have done all the normal things ... empty trash, delete downloads, purge unused apps, restarted, set up a new admin user and logged in from there. While doing these things did create more space ... within minutes it is gone again.


Any thoughts would be appreciated ....

Same here. Not sure what it is but I opened a ticket.

Same here. 2012 Mac Mini w/ Server running.


I belive it is due to an error in

/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/backup


I regained my space by running this in terminal


sudo su
cd "/Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Database.xpg/backup" find . -name "000*" -delete



I make no guarantee that this will help you but it has regained me 388GB

I noticed this happening as well. My top three folders on my machine account for 370gb, but the machine says I am using 440gb. I have been rooting around but I cannot find where this space is going.

b2 is not getting my space back. I wonder if this is a hard link issue with how the Finder is reporting usage?

I wonder, TIme Machine backups used to do this. Hmm

Yep, appears to be local backups for Time Machine. My .MobileBackips is mounted at /Volumes/MobileBackups and is using 61GB of space.


sudo su


du -c -d1 -h in /.MobileBackups/
