Here are soma additional thoughts on freeing up space on your hard drive:

The files that you have control over are located in the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Movies folders.  You can use either of these two free apps, GrandPerspective  or OmniDiscSweeper, to find the largest files on your drive so you can determine if they can be deleted or moved to an external HD for storage.  

Note: you can empty the Downloads folder after the apps and/or updates that were downloaded have been installed or applied.  Many users have found a couple of Gigabytes of files in their Downloads folder which are no longer needed.

Thanks for that as well; there was a thread in the lounge, but it has disappeared.

It can't be because of anything I said in there as I can't get into the lounge until the account is fixed.

thanks Old Toad—hope you get it sorted.

Good computing!

Yes. I messed up my primary Apple ID so, until it's fixed, I'm using my other one.
