To uninstall Xcode, you should download Pacifist and examine the Xcode package (or the receipt in /Library/Receipts) to see where it installed all of its files.

You may also want to run Verify Disk inside of Disk Utility… it’s possible a directory error is causing the free space to be mis-reported.

I removed a ton of stuff and turned off almost all of my fonts. That seemed to help. But the space on my HD is erratic. In the course of 3 hours it went from as low as 21.59GB to 43.38GB without me adding or deleting files. Also in this time period I wasn’t rendering anything.
Thanks for the advice.

Zero G, try installing OmniDiskSweeper and seeing if it can find the file:

It’s also possible a log file or a swap file is growing without bound.

Where the hell is all of my hard drive space going? Something in Leopard is eating it. This morning I started with over 15GB and now without adding more than 100MB of new files, I have less than 1.5GB of space left.

Reza, I realize that… but you missed where I said that 875 MB of language files are installed, even if you disable all language packs.

Language packs cause the 875 MB to surge up to about 2 GB. I was giving Apple the benefit of the doubt, and assumed that you did a custom install and disabled all language packs…

… it still puts almost a gigabyte of them in, like it or not.

You can customize language packs when installing Leopard. Apple has not force you to install them. Pre-installed OSs have full language packs for evident reason.
