Not Enough Free Disk Space (Mac)
I am trying to update a game (total war: warhammer), and the steam downloader claims that my mac doesn't have enough disk space: 33.8GB (for a 106.5 MB download, but I digress). However, my mac has 39.36GB free - roughly 6 GB more than required, so something is clearly confused here, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

Well, first off, these are some links I found that people with the same problem posted, look at these, and you should hopefully find an answer to your problem there. I'll post a couple of links to different discussions of the same topic, please look at all of them and in the comments there should be different types of answers that could help you with it

The last one will probably be most useful as it also has to do with the game Warhammer, anyways now that we've gotten that over with, I'll give you some suggestions that helped me when I had this problem

~Delete any type of unimportant files that you don't need anymore
~Move the game to another location on your computer (you'll have to uninstall it first) and then goto steam>settings>downloads and in downloads,there should be an option to set up a new location for your files, go there and make a new location for files (and you can switch off locations without problems) Once you have a new place to put some games (and yes you should be able to still place it in the same drive, and if this doesn't work, try placing a folder in a different drive) reinstall the game but this time be sure to change the location of which folder it should go in (when you are installing any game, a popup will appear telling you the estimated time, amount of bytes needed and required, etc. but once you have more folders you'll be able to switch folders and change which folder you want your game in)
~Reset your computer
~Reset steam
~Log out of your account then log back in
~Verify integrity of game files (right click the game you are having the problem with, then go to it's properties, then go to the local files)

Now, I have 89GB of space available, and I check steam and it thinks there is only 29GB available, and have no idea how to change this.
