Try:

restart

If that does not fix it, restart into "safe mode".

Were running on a OWC 4Bay enclosure with 4 SSDs a raid 0 volume with 12TB. We have a Mac Studio M1 Ultra and OSX Monterey.

Now the Volume is getting full so we delete some files but even after the trash bin has been emptied and restarts, the osx shows only 112GB of free space. We checked all the bin sizes on the volume and they are only around 4 TB so it should be much more space available.

We are desperately seeking for help. Do you know anything?

Thanks in Advance!
