Sorry , I mean as you'd get rid of uneeded stuf like a defray in windows , not completely , only I have this pop up that says my mac has a virus and it will clean it , but I can't click the x cos theres no way of closing it and I've tried closing safari but when I open the pop up is still there. I ran Adawaremedic but it found nothing.

It's hard to clean a malware by yourself. You'd better to use a third-party anti-malware to get out it by the link from CoastalOR's reply. For Safari, this may be caused by some extensions. You can disable the extension. Safari-Preferences-Extensions.

Interesting thread title.
I only have 30gb out of 250gb left on my rmbp and 150gb are being occupied by 'other'.
I have most of my raw images and videos on external drives and only apps installed that I really need.
Most media files/itunes library are on my mac mini.
I can't figure out what to delete ... 😕

The Safe Mac was acquired by Malwarebytes with support now for Adware Medic. Also running Etrecheck can help show what you have that are a problem.
Of course a good clone of your system (I would use CCC) and backups - from previous - always helpful to have on hand.
That scam has been around for years, just do a quick search.

It sounds like you are caught in a Javascript loop that is reloading the same nasty web popup when you restart your browser. Hit command-q to quit Safari, then hold the shift key when you click to relaunch it and that should stop the popup from reloading.
