hi, I used sudo ditto command in terminal to copy a folder. I saw that nothing was being copied in the paths I chose and I quit terminal while it was still doing the ditto... I didn't know how to terminate the command itself. ever since my memory is rapidly lowering. for example it is 15.46 gb available now and 5 minutes later it will be 15.41.
I found out that I mistyped the paths in ditto command and the folders were copied in my volumes folder. deleted them but still the same problem. I checked activity monitor but there is no ditto task but my kernel_task is taking up 790 mb. I restarted my pc and deleted terminal.plist from library preferences but no help.
another problem that I noticed ever since ditto is that copy paste function is not working right. for example I copy a 4 gb file and paste it in another path. it will be pasted but memory will not change, like no 4 gb has been copied but the file is actually copied. when I download things or compress files however available memory will change but copy paste files won't make any change. I could even copy a 25 gb file although my available space is about 15 gb...
pleaaase help me, this is driving me crazy!
