Tip 186See What Free Disk Space There Is

You can find out how much disk space is free by right-clicking the icon in the title bar of any Finder window (the one to the left of the name of the folder) and selecting the bottom entry in the list, which will probably be the name of your computer.

Then right-click your Mac’s hard disk icon in the Finder window and select Get Info. Look at the Available heading in the dialog box that appears.

To always have this info available, open Finder, and click ViewShow Status Bar. Then look at the bottom of the Finder window to see the figure. You can also hit Command+/ to toggle the status bar on and off, if you don’t want to have it stick around all the time.
