i have a 60gb hard drive on my notebook
and the biggest application on top of OSX is adobe cs2
yesterday i was operating with 16gb of space and today while downloading a 1gb file it dropped to 223mb
and the notebook advised me my scratch disks were full.

I deleted all the files I had downloaded and some others and checked pretty much all over
but at the bottom of my HD dialogue box it only shows 4.5mb.

I may have duplicated info somewhere but i seriously doubt it
is there anyway of seeing the contents of each folder so i can see were all the HD space is being used
is there something similar to the way you can hover over folder in windows rather than just the full total at base of
dialogue box?

Also for future info does anyone know where i can edit size of scratch disks?

thanks in advance

Try Disk Inventory to see where the disk space is utilized. Great tool!
