I got a ms macOS can't repair disk

macOS can’t repair the disk “easystore”.

You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.0

Yes, you have to do what it says, Apple will prevent writing to a drive once it starts failing bad enough.

How to delete files in Target Disk Mode Hi all, My startup disk is full and my computer won’t reboot. It just stays on the screen with the Apple logo and progress bar. I can’t boot in Safe Mode either. Disk Utility is showing 16.33gb available (of a 1TB drive) which is the culprit. The first aid option doesn’t resolve anything. I can boot to Target Disk Mode which is what I would hope to be my path to recovery but I’m a bit stuck. I can access the problematic Mac’s hard drive through a MacBook and see all my files. My hope was that I could delete some of these files so I can gain some more space. I went through a lot of files and was able to shave off about 20gb (and emptied the trash). This didn’t solve my problem. I booted to Disk Utility again to see the amount available space and it still showed 16.33gb. I don’t have access to the other MacBook to boot to Target Disk Mode or else I would look to see if the files were indeed gone or if they re-appeared. I assume they would be still be there since Disk Utility is showing no change. Assuming that they would be there again, how can I permanently delete files via Target Disk Mode to free up space in order for the computer to reboot? Thanks in advance.

First Aid cannot repair Macintosh HD - data Running OnyX on my MacBook Pro Retina 13" early 2015 running macOS Monterey 12.5 I got a warning message which told me to reboot into Recovery Mode and run Disk Utility First Aid. I did this: First Aid tells me that Macintosh HD-data has an error and suggests that I back up my data. I've done this, using Time Capsule, but don't know if I should take any further steps or be concerned about this problem. Note: files are also saved to iCloud. Should I now erase and format Macintosh HD-data? I've checked the Macintosh HD partition, which contains the macOS Monterey data files, and that is fine.

Hard Drive is Full - Please help I have an older MacBook Pro (Early 2011- 15")still running on Sierra OS. I know it will run slow but it is running much slower. Right before my wife passed almost two years ago I was copying files from a hard disk to the built in CD Rom. Well the Hard Driver ran out of room because it filled up with the temp files it wrote to write it to the CD. The program froze and I had to shut down. I was never able to complete the writing of the files on the CD. I am guessing that the files are on the Hard Drive somewhere because my hard drive is full and was never even close to full before I attempted to write the files to a CD. If correct, where will I find those file where I can delete them and at least be able to use my old machine for other purposes like for the Grandkids when they come over! Thank you for your help
