Do I delete disk1s1 in Disk Utility? Thanks for replies to my previous post by leroydouglas, HWTech and TheLittles, I have deleted my HD but... Having now gone back into Disk Utilities, I find that disk1s1 is as full as my HD was. As I'm getting rid of my computer, how do I delete all this as the Erase button is not lit up? Or what is this file for? Is it readable by anyone else? Thank you

Freeing Up Space With "harddisk.hdd.0" Document I just bought the new MacBook Air with 256GB of storage and was dismayed to find that over half of the storage was already taken up. Specifically, it seems that a document called "harddisk.hdd.0" was taking nearly 75GB of storage. What is this document? Is it safe if I delete it? If not, is there any way that I can free up space on my machine? Thanks.
