No, really. I just ran it on my stupid 2-gig OSX partition, right? It finishes five minutes later and tells me it saved my 170 megabytes. One-seven-zero big ones. I had previously had about 179MB of stuff on the 2-gig partition, so I got reasonably worried. I got info on my OSX drive, and it currently reads:

OSX Info
General Information
___
Capacity: 1.99 GB
Available: 300.4 MB
Used: 1.7 GB on disk (1,832,214,528 bytes)

I'm positive that all my stuff is perfectly fine, except for the missing language files that Delocalizer removed. So how's it possible that I now have 150% of the space on this partition AVAILABLE? Is it too good to be true? Did Delocalizer rip a hole in space and time? Am I just seeing things? Help!

170 MB != 1.7 GB
170 MB == .17 GB
1.7 GB == 1700MB

1870MB - 170MB == 1.7GB

That sounds about right to me.

I think it's right, also. When I installed OS X I always go to the "custom install" tab and uncheck all of the languages. I recall saving around 170 MB's. I also don't install the BSD subsystem. When I can only have 6 gigs of space on my OS X partiton, I need all the space I can get.

I just started up again, and I have 529.4 MB of free space now. That's more than double the original disk space. I'm sure it's just a mathematics thing- what else could it be?

I had a problem like this once. I had a drive that turned into 4x the size that it was originally. Even unix partition utilities read it as 4 times bigger. Disc Doctor couldn't fix it or anything. It was after I ran disc doctor actually o_O I reformated with apples disc tools (no partitons because it still thought it was 4x bigger when I had to set up sized) and it went back to normal.

So, my 2-gig partition has big dreams, eh? Anyway, so was your hard drive as big as it had originally been the whole time it was 4x bigger? To put it in other terms, how much free space do I really have right now?
