I'm having some problem with my mac (MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)). I freed some spaces by deleting some folders but when I analyse mac HD I get the following:
Available: 79.29 GB (44.52 GB purgeable)
Installing windows 10 on bootcamp still returns the error "not enough space" so I started looking at tutorials on how to get rid of that "purgeable" space. I have tried everything, enabling store optimisation, apple cloud, disabling everything, nothing worked.
I stumble upon a tutorial that suggested to create fake files to fill the hard disk and then remove them (with iCloud disabled).
The problem is that the command suggested in the tutorial:
mkfile -n 10g ./test
Doens't work, it creates a file, but if I analyse the file:
Size: 10,737,418,240 bytes (4 KB on disk)
So it should occupy 10 gigs but in reality it occupies almost no space at all.
What can I do to get rid of that space?
