Yosemite Storage on MBA 120GB

[DJTaurus]

My data is around 60-70GB but it says that I ve used around 102GB....?

I delete data and nothing changes.... the free space stays the same.

I did a spotlight re-index and nothing changed.

This has been an ongoing issue for many people. At this point, there has been no resolution that I am aware of.

It happened with me when I was using a separate partition. I got tired of it and went with Yosemite on a single partition. I haven't had the problem since. If I do, it will be much easier to deal with this way. Hopefully, the next DP will have a fix.

I believe that that represents Time Machine backup files of some kind? Not positive.
