Not sure where the space is being used. Quitting apps doesn’t help, but it comes back after I restart.

Looks like the culprit is Spotlight. 2592 files in /.Spotlight-V100/Store-V2/6A539762-515B-41E7-80DC-AF1054850499/Cache/ up to 99 MB each.

Just got the "Startup Disk Is Full" message, so back in a few after I restart.

The command I ended up using was "sudo du -mrd8 /.Spotlight-V100/|sort -n". After restart, still 60 GB of cache files, one that's 3.6 GB.

Based on the contents of the txt files in the Spotlight cache, I think they were left by /System/Library/Spotlight/PDF.mdimporter

Tentative solution: exclude the folder with most of my PDFs from Spotlight and then reset it (sudo mdutil -E /).

@mjtsai Ugh, this kind of bug sucks. FWIW I just confirmed my whole .Spotlight-V100 "only" takes 6GB. (The volume that has my home folder). - View other replies

@craigmorgan I don’t see any errors in Xcode’s Preferences. Did that show up in Console? Files in regular temp folder? - View other replies

@mjtsai it was a 2nd Mac Xcode via AppStore, no log entries, just incessant net traffic (nettop), never worked out if it was corrupt or what

@mjtsai occasionally running OmniDiskSweeper with sudo helps. -
@mjtsai you can run ODiskSweeper as root with LaunchAsRoot app, it will then report everything on disk, including hidden system stuff
