Hello all -
I have a macbook pro 15" with 120 GB of storage. I only have about 21 GB of storage left and was wondering what I can safely delete to open up more space. I noticed that when I open the HD I see two devices listed. 1.) being my computer and the 2.) being the Macintosh HD. When I open my computer, I see the Macintosh HD again. So it appears as if there are two HD's or atleast double the items on the HD.
Another thing I noticed is that under PLACES there is a little house icon with my name and when I open that I see everything on my HD (Desktop, Applications, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures etc ...). But listed underneath the little house icon with my name on it are all those things again (Desktop, Applications, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures.) Is it just me or are there duplicates of all those things on my computer. Since I am the only one who uses my computer, can't I just delete the little house icon and not have any problems. It says that it takes approximately 51GB of space. One more tidbit of info. I have approximately 30GB tided up in my Itunes app and approximately 16GB tided up my iphoto app. No imovie, idvd or garageband projects taking up space. So after all my apps, some documents that I have and a few downloads, it seems that I should only have about 60GB or so tied up. And that is a high estimate.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
