Confusion about memory on my MBA

[JackD]

I'm not sure if I am being very stupid (which will probably turn out to be the case) but my MBA currently says I have 26GB worth of movies on my hard drive which I can't find/account for.

I don't have any movies (downloaded films etc) and the only videos will be maybe 5 off my phone so I haven't a clue how or what is using up so much space?

Any ideas?

Is there anything in trash?

Trash is always cleared, Internet browser caches wiped every couple of days.

I have also organised my files by size to try and find anything and there's nothing bigger than a few mb. Only 5 videos come up in the 'video' category

I use a program called OmniDiskSweep which gives you a list of all the folders on your system in size order, I find it handy for finding/deleting large quantities of unused files (such as old college/uni work etc.)

iTunes TV Shows or Podcasts?

Another profile on there?

Treesize Pro is a great little tool. I don't think it covers Macs though?
