This doesn't seem to be working. The applications used to search for large files are just displaying files that are located within my Users folder, all of which only add up to a total of 65 GB. The remaining 55 GB that's taking up space on the disc seem to be unaccounted for. What's the difference between Users and the disk? Every file that I've ever saved is in some division of the users folder (as it contains the desktop, documents, music, applications, movies, and so on), so why my Users folder so much smaller than my disk? What else is there?

There's also still the issue of how all the files I deleted cleared up absolutely no space. Wherever those files were being stored, them being deleted should have made some impact on the overall space left on my disk. I don't know if this changes anything, but I copied a bunch of files (Probably a couple tens of GB) onto a Seagate External hard drive (with 4TB of space) which connects to the computer via USB cable. I placed all the files on that hard drive, ejected it, deleted the original files off my mac, then emptied the trash. I don't know if this information helps in any way, but I'm completely stumped as to why this did nothing.

First, click on the Apple icon in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Then, click About This Mac - Storage. Here you’ll find exactly what’s taking up space on your Mac.
