Run the Automation feature and it will clean out all those cache files. I do it about once a month.

I am not sure what you are asking - yes cache files will show in the other area of space used. I was suggesting that Onyx cleans out cache and temp files plus a lot of other housekeeping things. As for disk space - anything that is information for whatever reason is stored on the hard drive. Temporary files that don't necessarily get deleted, cache files from webpages that can be current or outdated, hidden system files that are not revealed to the user because some people have no idea they are needed so they could just at random delete them to make space plus the usual documents, pictures, etc.

By the way, do you remember the terminal command to turn off those mobile backups for good? Thanks for posting the links. Most folks who own portable Macs and use Time Machine are not aware that TM backups will continue even when the external hard drive is not mounted. This has lead to numerous posts like the one we just saw above.
