That sounds like something gets written to a temporary directory (but not memory backed but filesystem-backed). Have you checked all system logs and such? Maybe take a look at running processes and sort by disk activity as well.
- gnicholas 4y agoWill give this a try! The thing that surprises me is that it's happening to both my wife and me, since our list of overlapping applications is very small. I assumed it was a system-level issue and will have to be fixed with a software update. In the meantime, I'm restarting my machine like it's 199x...
- thenthenthen 4y agoI have this. Do you put the laptop to sleep a lot? My thought has always been itll write the ram to disk when suspending, but doesnt clear this on waking, accumulating slowly on the disk until reboot. Also updates are semi silently downloaded (and installed) by default. On iOS there was a similar bug, first with ghost photos; deleted photos were never ever really deleted nor deletable slowly filling up the device.
- gnicholas 4y agoI probably sleep the laptop several times a day. This could explain the issue, because when I’ve run Disk Inventory X it shows lots of large files that I can’t figure out. I have my Mac set to never pre-download software updates though. If writing RAM to disk is the issue, what’s the solution?
