So I keep getting messages about my start up disc being almost full. I've moved a bunch of TV Shows to an external hard drive and that usually does the trick, but I'm trying to install the newest updates and even after deleting several files, I'm still getting the message that my start up disc is full. I really don't keep alot of junk on my computer, so can anyone recommend any solutions?

You need a larger hard drive.

Download and run Disk Inventory X to investigate your disk usage. I'm sure that you'll find a lot of old junk to delete.
