However. the enormous files are the oldest one (not the last few days). so i only keep one snapshot per/W for anything older than 2 weeks.
so i do not really get the logic on that.

Anyway, thank you for your help and I will certainly follow your advice.

Hi froggiechef ,

Also look out for temporary files which may have been created but not deleted before you made a snapshot. Your downloading or editing software could create these but their location can often be configured within the software so you could redirect them to an unprotected partition.

It can also be useful to use a piece of software to get an idea of where big files are lurking. I quite like Treesize Pro but they also do a free version which would do the job.
