Ok well I was looking at my mac storage and I have 1.15 GB Free out of 499.25 GB. From this 319.93 GB are from the Other section (yellow bar). I want to free a TON of space up. How can I delete files from this "other" section, and what is in this section.
Thanks !!!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I had this same problem with my MacBook Air and recognized in iTunes that I had over 7 back ups of iPhones and iPads. Once I deleted them it cleared from 30GB to 14GB of "Other" storage space on my hard drive.
To delete them...Open iTunes > then Preferences > once there go to the Devices tab and there you should see the backups there. Select the iPad and/or iPad backups you don't want and delete them.
Hope that helps.
Tried everything presented in the forum that I saw, but nothing worked. I figured out that you have to click on the trash bin and press empty in the top right. saved 120gb!
My files were hidden under iMovies & Photos which I do not use ever. OmniSweeper helped find/reveal these files.. It lets you choose the files that you want to clear up.
I need to delete Mac_Forum who seem to be running interference, can anyone help?
That's really help. It work 🙂
