Please help meeee!! I've read everything and done what everyone says. My startup disk is almost full and I've checked my storage to see what it is that's taking up space and the majority of it says "other". I have NO IDEA what else to delete. I've absolutely demolished pictures, documents, videos, etc but it still has the majority of it full by "other". Any suggestions?? Please and thank you!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
If you have read "everything" then I guess there really is nothing left to suggest. 😉
On the off chance:
Have a look at how space is being used:

Thank you so much! I did the omnidisksweeper and freed up over 50% of the items making my disk go slow! Now if I will need those items again the future is my loss (lol) but for the time being my computer is way faster now.
Thanks again!! 🙂
Startup disk is almost full, don't know what to delete!
