Hey
I'm in need of making more space on my Macbook Pro, and i cant help but think that there is a ton of stuff on it that i dont even need and is taking up lots of room, ive deleted some music and moved to an external HD, which made me about 4/5GB space.
Now, when i right-click my Macintosh HD disk on my desktop, it shows i have 49.26GB available however, when i click 'about this mac' it shows a little chart of what stuff is taking up room, audio, images etc, but says that i only have 36.35GB free...
So which one is correct, how much space do i actually have free?
Q2:
on the 'about this mac', it says 'Other' 45.67GB, what on earth is that? I have 45gb+ of random 'other' stuff on my mbp taking up that much room?
It also says 'moveis 874.5GB' and 'photos 1.91gb' .. i havent got any movies or photos on my macbook, that i know of.. how can i find this and delete/move to ex drive?
I have no idea how i have 21.9GB worth of Apps on my MBP... Is this just general applications? Because when i right hand click my applications folder, it shows only 15.72GB.. Same for backups, where are the 12.94GB of backups saved!?
My audio programme(logic) is starting to run slow, as well as my MBP in general, only after upgrading to Mavericks may i add. It takes REALLY long to shut down and start up now since upgrading.
So i would like help on finding this stuff as well as tips on how to just clear up space.
thank you.
