I keep getting this message that my Startuo disc is almost full. Please delete some files to make more room. I have deleted several files, but a few weeks later I get the same message again. Is there something else I should be doing or checking?
I own a MAC OS X version 10.5.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Please help.
Thanks
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
There is no magic bullet. You need to delete stuff off the startup drive.
The biggest hard drive space hogs are videos, images and music. The good news is that all of these can - and probably should - be moved to an external drive. So my advice would be to get yourself an external hard drive, connect it to your Macbook, format it correctly, move what you can to that drive, and the ERASE them off the startup.
Good luck.
Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Delete what you do not want or need.
Also consider installing a larger internal HDD. It is difficult to have to much storage.
Ciao.
You helped me with this problem thanks. I have another question you may be able to answer.
How can I stop Finder from defaulting to All Files in 10.8.2?
