Ok, so I've run into the problem of the dreaded 'Phantom Files'...

I've recently done a big spring clean on my Macbook Pro running el Capitan 10.11.6

I've clicked on get info on my mac home icon and it says 26.gb, but when I click through and click get info on all the associated files, only 16gb is accounted for??

It seems like this is where the problem lies, but I've hit a brick wall.

I've also found when I go to storage however, it still says I have 4.77gb of movies on my hard drive, despite having deleted all of them through a spotlight search??

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

This problem is driving me up the wall...
