Time machine trouble shooting
My time machine says it won't back up because my hard drive is too full. I now have 11 GB available and it still won't work. Help?

Hi there!
How much free storage is on both your startup disk and the Time Machine disk?

Do you have a MacOS installer in your Applications folder? They are substantial and can be re-downloaded later if needed later.
Did you empty your Downloads folder? everything in it came from the Internet and can be dowloaded again later.
do you have Xcode installed? it is enormous and can be re-downloaded later if needed.
Thanks a million!
did any of those solve the problem, or
you are just glad to get more suggestions, or
something else?
I deleted some of the things suggested and it's now working! Voile! Thanks a million. (I wasn't sure whether it would work when I replied before.)
