DISK SPACE

Hello,

Right now I'm having problems with my mackbooks' free space there's only 10 GB available, went to about my mac window and there I noticed that 486GB/500GB was occupied with "OTHER" not with apps or even documents just other.

It also says MAC OS X LION SERVER Installed, yes I installed it and i connected it to a domain but I stopped using it so I turned everything off and deleted the app with CLEAN MY MAC, I think that might be server files or something like that.

Please help me with this becaus I dont want to erase my disk In fac t I cant I've got lot of software that If I unistall it I'd have to buy a new one or call Texas Instruments support(It's TI.nspire soft.

Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

First, uninstall "Clean My Mac" according to the developers' instructions. It's worthless.

When you installed Server, you installed many thousands of files, very few of them inside the Server application bundle. The only way to get rid of them is to erase the startup volume and reinstall the base OS. If that's too much for you, you can disable Server by following these instructions:
