You will have to erase the drive and reinstall macOS. What am I missing? I thought buying a MacBook Pro with 4 TB storage would be more than enough, so why am I out of space after only using up 1.7 TB?
Nothing has reduced this purgeable data reading, and FinalCut still won't let me import anything onto my Mac HD. So far I've tried rebooting, deleting local Time Machine snapshots, clearing the system cache, and emptying trash. So why is my purgeable data larger than the visible amount of storage I've used up (only 1.7 TB)? I looked up some articles about purgeable data, and it seems like this is only supposed to account for a small fraction of your total used space. In a FinalCut forum, someone recommended I click Get Info on my Mac HD icon, and sure enough the purgeable data appears to be the problem. I couldn't understand why, since About This Mac shows that there's 2.07 TB available. I discovered the problem when I was trying to import FinalCut Pro media and it gave me the error that there wasn't enough space on my local hard drive. Combined with the regular data, it says I've used up 3.98 TB of my 4 TB hard drive.
Why does my Mac HD have over 2 TB of purgeable data when I've only used 1.7 TB of regular data? I'm trying to understand why my Mac HD is showing 2.04 TB of purgeable data.
