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)
As someone who has sung the virtues of Apple for over 20 years I can't believe it has come to this. You should not have to spend a day or two or more regaining storage you never actually used. I have zero songs and 1 photo on my macbook on purpose so that I can manage a modest number of short films and slide shows in keynote exclusively on my Macbook. And low and behold I am out of space even thought I use my Macbook like a highly specialized vehicle for specific presentations. I don't want to hear some troll tell me the answer is burried in some thread I must spend a few days unravelling, I want Apple to get their head out their ***** and support their products.
Hi
it looks like i found a way to get ride from deleted files that you have physically deleted from your mac, but they have't been really deleted. (pardon me for my English)
1st, you got to have (OmniDiskSweeper), and (Clean my mac).
2nd, Open OmniDiskSweeper and choose your drive, which is probably ( Macintosh HD).
3rd, Choose .cleverfiles.>hlink.db. you will see so many files that you deleted in the past but they are still in your mac.
Now in the page of OmniDiskSweeper at the very bottom at the left corner, you'll see a white file picture, press it and a window will pop out, select all the files by clicking ( Command+A) now right click on the touchpad, from the menu choose (Erase Using Clean my mac).
Now Clean my mac will pop out and you'll see al the file you selected to delete. you'll see a circle at the bottom of Clean my mac that says ( Shred) press it.
now you will have gotten rid of some of the others lol.
Great ! now the "other" is with one iphone backup and my "other" is "only" 61GB....
what is the 120GB of "backup" I have on the 500DB SSD ?
Could it be Time Machine ? ( I am backing up to a WD external drive....)
Can I see what is the "backup" is combined of which adds up to 120GB?
Thanks,
Hanani
