Used The Adobe Cleaner But Files Still Missing Update For Catalina

The fsck command mentioned at the end of that article didnt seem work or do anything when I tried it in single user mode, like it was invalid or wanted some sort of permission, I cant remember exactly what it said.

On Friday I was using photoshop when it suddenly complained the scratch disk was full.

Used The Adobe Cleaner But Files Still Missing Update For Catalina

Noticed my HD only had about 5GB free Deleted a couple gigs worth of stuff (such as a backup MocOS Catalina install disk image) and also ran the latest security update for Catalina, figuring that update might be sitting on my drive taking up space.

The update went without a hitch (thank god) but there really wasnt much change to my drive space.

After the update I seemed to have regained a little more free space (around 8GB free or so) but that quickly went away after just using the computer throughout the day.

I proceeded to then delete even more files, and throughout the weekend Ive probably deleted at least 20GB but probably more like 40-50GB or more.

GB of Adobe After Effects caches, deleted x-code as I never use it, lots of podcasts, movie files, music files, etc) I ran a Time Machine backup, hoping that would do some housecleaning (the backup was around 50GB) but it really didnt change anything.

I turned off timemachine (Im assuming unchecking Back up Automatically is the same thing as turning time machine off) thinking that would delete the local snapshots, but didnt notice any difference in free space.

Restarting the mac usually will reclaim a few GB, but that will be eaten after an hour or so, and itll go back to 5GB-3GB free range.

I know people have mentioned deleting local timemachine snapshots to free up a lot of space.

At one time during the weekend, terminal reported I had 3, but the system must be actually doing its job, as when I check later that day in terminal using listlocalsnapshots or tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates, nothing is coming up.

Ive also checked in DaisyDisk and it reports there being no local snapshots to delete.

When I delete files and empty the trash, space never seems to get freed up, and according to about my mac storage management, whatever I delete seems to just go into other.

Its now Monday and after deleting more files its up to 277GB.

Ive also notice discrepancies in what finder and About my Mac Storage Management report.

Find claims I have 5.45GB of available space (258MB purgeble) while About my Mac claims I have 5.22GB.

I went ahead and reset the SMC and NVRAM, neither of those did anything to fix it.

I did go into recovery mode and used disk utility to check Macintosh HD - Data and it gave me the following: (this report was using Disk Utility app, not in Recovery mode, but the error was the same regardless) Verifying file system.

The volume Macintosh HD - Data was formatted by hfsconvert (748.21.6) and last modified by apfskext (1412.141.1).

Checking the object map.

What are my options here Will the system eventually get to work and delete all this other Or is my free space going to just keep dwindling away I have to use an external drive as a scratch disk to even get photoshop to open files.

If I have to reinstall from recovery, which option do I choose Reinstall macOS or Restore from Time Machine Backup Again, in recovery mode, the other disks dont report any problems, just Macintosh HD - Data is the one that gives me errors.

Among other things, Safe Mode will clear some caches (and caches are part of Other).

Mac is Getting the Btn: Invalid Key Order Error - Software Tested.
