Other volumes (covered in a separate article) — sub-volumes within the same physical disk that share its pool of free space (a new feature of APFS).

• DaisyDisk found a hidden folder called.cleverfiles using over 230 GB in my SSD root directory. The Mojave Finder labeled the.cleverfiles folder size as 2.8 GB. Somehow.cleverfiles isn't listed at all when booted from my internal SSD (even with hidden files shown). A web search for CleverFiles led me straight to Disk Drill.
• DaisyDisk is a paid disk space analyzer for macOS. It displays a sunburst diagram of files on a hard drive to help with the location or deletion of large files. It can display previews of files using Quick Look. It also allows the user to look at the file directly in Finder, in order to delete it or move it elsewhere.

Large amounts of hidden disk space may also indicate errors in the file system. You can use the Disk Utility to verify and repair your disk’s integrity. In some cases, you may need to boot your Mac in Recovery mode and run the Disk Utility from there.

In the most obstinate cases with APFS disks, you may need to use the lower-level fsck_apfs command-line utility to verify and repair the APFS volume from the Recovery mode.

Similarly, for HFS+ disks, you may need to use fsck_hfs. Beside verifying, you can use it to repair the HFS+ catalog file. WARNING: this operation may not be safe for your data! You should make a full backup of your disk before trying. Please seek professional help on the matter.
