Start Up Disk

Hi there, I keep getting a pop up message on my MAC saying my start up disk is full. How can I add more space? I have a 2015 Macbook Pro. It also no longer updates my photo library from my iCloud to the laptop. Any suggestions how to fix and create more space? thank you :)

not enough startup disk space How can I get more memory to be able to work on my macbook pro I get a message not enough startup disk space. I backed up my mac to an external USB storage with Time Machine I cleared any files but I still have my music and photos that I have not deleted afraid the time machine didn't get them. I read you can not transfer photos to USB storage if you backed up with time machine because the photo files can be corrupt. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to look all my photos.

Storage Space on Mac Hello. I recently deleted over 38GB of photos from my computer (over 6,000 photos) to free up storage on my macOS Sierra. I emptied my trash cans and I've restarted many times. I only got 3GB of storage back. This has happened to me multiple times where I will delete so many GB and my Mac is not recognizing this and continues to give me the Start Up Disk is Full message. This is so frustrating. Please help.

how do I free up space on my mac? I am trying to free up space on my computer so i can install the latest OS. It seems there is a large file of migrated photos that I can't open. Should I delete it or will I lose photos? when you run out of space like this is it just time for a new computer?

Hi Question72,

It might be possible to physically upgrade the SSD inside your Mac (since it's a MBP before 2016). If you choose to do so, be careful and cautious.

To free up space on your Mac, check out these resources:
