- Don't buy CleanMyMac or any other dreck that offers to "clean" your Mac for you. Worst software ever.
- If there are apps in your Applications folder you don't need any more, drag them to the trash and empty the trash.
- In general, it is media files, like music, photos, and especially video that is taking up a lot of space. You can move your iTunes library, iPhoto Library, and iMovie video to an external drive.
- it's a good idea to have a backup before you start moving things.
