Wtf? snow leopard

• Ravdyk

  I just updated to snow leopard and it somehow cleared 40 to 50gb of my disk. I thought it would only clear like 8gb does anybody know what kind of junk it deleted?

  Snow Leopard is supposed to reclaim around 6gb of space over Leopard. It is a slimmer OS.

  Also I understandthat Snow Leopard reads data as 1kb = 1000 bytes instead of 1024 bytes. This recalculation definitely makes your HD and free space appear larger. My 320gb drive now reads as 320.7gb, which is interesting.

  bottom line; snow leopard does not trim 50gb.

  you lost some unnecessary baggage somewhere. would be good idea to figure it out so your clean system doesn't get all bloated again.
