what is classed as 'other' on lion about this mac storage? 37GB of my 250GB hard drive is taken up by 'other'? Any help so i can clear it out would be great! thanks!
Lion-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7)
Documents, system files, .zip and .rar files, swap space - basically, anything that doesn't fall into any of the named categories.
In my view, this way of presenting hard disk usage isn't very good for a desktop. It's based on the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch approach, where video.audio/phto content is primary. But a desktop user might well be using a mich greater variety fo file types.
Not sure what SOM is (google didn't help), looks like a folder created by an App you installed.
Now, as its ext is TMP, then its my guess that it's safe to delete. You can delete from Finder (Enter: ⇧⌘G, then Library/som, ⌘A and delete), or from Omni.
Here is 200 GB 😢 😢 😢
I do a lot of video editing on my Mac and recently saw I was running low from a 1TB HDD.
I read this thread and found it so helpful.
Turns out my FCP had 390GB of data that was entirely old.
