Hey,
I'm sorry, I have the weirdest tech issues.
I am in the middle of replacing my hard drive. So I made a disk image of it, to restore from.
Problem, there was too much data on the drive, and the disk image was too big for the hard drive I had to store it on.
So I did the logical thing: deleted everything( Specifically everything that I could redownload anyway) until it was small enough.
So my problem...
The new disc image is the same size as before.
my hard drive currently has 300GB of data on it, so I expected about 400gb or data, and left another 100gb for it being unexpectedly too big.
but it's 970gb.
Why? It seems like it's still including the files I deleted in the backup, but I don't want it to do that. So how do I make it stop?
