My startup disk space is full. I am worried that if I delete files from my downloads (i.e. music) that it will erase from other saved areas. Does anyone know if this action will affect my items?
Thank you in advance =}
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), iOS 8.4
what you mean by “other saved areas”?
Say for instance it is a music album I have downloaded. It is taking up space in my "downloads" folder. If I delete it from downloads will it delete from iTunes?
check iTunes> Preferences> Advanced
“copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library” is checked or not
if checked you can delete music from Downloads folder, if not deletion from Download folder also deletes from iTunes library
more on library organization you can read here
Thank you!
Do you know if this is the same for other applications, i.e. word documents. I am furiously trying to free up space on my startup disk but have gotten into this issue because I don't have the good habit of deleting items I no longer have a need for but don't want to lose forever.
Will deleting downloads erase content on Mac in other saved areas?
