title: Can't clear up space on macOs Catalina. "Other" takes 370GB out of 500GB and other tools show half of this
body: <p>Recently I had almost full disk space taken on my Macbook Pro running macOs Catalina. I saw that what took most of my space was folder under: <strong>/Users/Shared/Relocated Items</strong> so I deleted this folder by moving to trash and emptying it. I deleted many other files as well.</p>
  <p>I thought I just got 200 GB free disk space. But not at all!:</p>

  <p>Only my &quot;Other&quot; size increased to 417GB! Which is insane. And what's more when I run sizing in software like <strong>OmniDiskSweeper</strong> or <strong>DiskInventoryX</strong> I get 179.5GB taken only!:</p>

  <p>And the same in DiskInventoryX. And before cleaning it was showing the same size taken as MacOs.</p>
  <p>What is going on here? I tried:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Running in recovery mode and running first aid on my disk.</li>
  <li>I have never enabled Time Machine. I ran some commands for delete backups and it appeared I didn't have any</li>
  </ul>
  <p>When I delete some file the &quot;Other&quot; area just gets bigger and I can't get rid of it.</p>
