You just answered your own question. What you posted shows that you have only used 20GB out of the total 500GB capacity of your drive, and you have 480GB of space free. You've used less than 1% of the drive's capacity.499.25 GB (499,248,103,424 Bytes)

Yes
You are basically just using what came loaded up already. As far as we can tell you have loaded almost nothing onto your hard drive...
You can get a better idea what you are using etc by clicking the
sign in the right hand corner and then clicking on about my mac and look at the storage results.
