Hello,

Re: MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) - Start-up disc: Macintosh HD

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 - Serial Number: W8***7WV

I don't know how to delete from my start-up disc.

I have emptied everything in the trash.

I have backed up macbook to an external drive.

I have backed up photos. etc, etc

Wondering about downloads that I don't need anymore - I am in the process of trashing them. They in clude many e-books but no videos or other large files.

Please advise,

Pam
