75 GB of nonsense

I want to free up space on my macbook air but my swatches of ventilation storage flash tells me that I have 75 GB of "other" files that takes place my 120 GB of storage. I've already moved all my movies and photos on an external. Where can I find the exact these 'other' file allocation so that I can remove stuff that I don't need.

In addition, advice on what I can do to free up space is appreciated. How to remove help files as in other languages? Etc.

OmniDiskSweeper (free download)

When you use OmniDiskSweeper, or any utility that displays all the files...  See the article after if you want to run it as root

http://www.MacObserver.com/TMO/article/how_to_recover_missing_hard_drive_space>

Warnings of boiler plate:

If you have a subscription, to run out of disk space, problem, then OmniDiskSweeper can help identify the space where goes.  View files and suspected places will help the forum help you to understand.  Don't forget, we can not see in your drive, you must give us information to work with.

DO NOT delete files in your folder-> library tree as it has things like backups of your iPhone, your emails, your application preferences, etc...  If you think that you found something in your Home-> library folder which can be removed, you must ask first.

DO NOT remove the files outside your home folder, you can end up removing something essential to Mac OS X and transform your Mac into a costly "door Stop."

I want to say that you will find a few very large files in private-> var-> vm (these are Mac OS X virtual memory paging files (swapfiles) and where Mac OS X stores the RAM copy when your Mac is paused).  The swapfile (s) is deleted on reboot, and the sleep image will just be recreated when you put your Mac to sleep.

If you think that you found something to remove outside your home folder, it would be better to ask first before deleting.  There are many examples of people deleting files outside their home folder, rename files, or change the property or file permissions and then their Mac stops running.  Don't be one of those people.  Ask first.

  • MS IME typing Japanese nonsense

    I use a laptop with Windows 7.  I use MS IME for input (Romaji) English characters which then change in Japanese

    hiragan or katakana and finally to Kanji.  However, there is a disjunction between what I'm typing on the keyboard and what appears on the screen.

    I reinstalled (or reopened IME and returned to English keyboard, and then reconfigure and played with all the properties).  Someone has an idea?

    Example of what happens: I type 'arigato' and get a string of the same number of characters in hiragana, but they are nonsense.   Anyone else seen elsewhere and fixed it?   Help much appreciated.

  • ADOBE - when is - it a NONSENSE going to stop? CHALLENGE YOUR WASTE [locked Discussion]

    It's absolutely disgusting... I pay for highly technical software that I use to earn a living and to put up with this nonsense EVERY DAY!

    Adobe just ignores this and does nothing to remedy. I downgraded to a previous version of Photoshop, BUT this happens all day not because of Photoshop because of the absolute trash filled Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop software, which is a total memory of PIG!

    You can't charge me money for professional products while you play games and create a bunch of nonsense to run in the background and keep slowing my workflow. This nonsense has to STOP and for once someone senior at Adobe must respond to this. I'm sick of this. Just look at that utter below Bull! also have a look at this

    REALLY? REALLY? REALLY? Adobe... you're going to... come back here and blamed it on Apple or someone else... stop blaming people, WITHOUT consider your customers and fix your absolutely poor QUALITY products!

  • Tired of nonsense Adobe

    I think seriously of dumping Adobe lightroom altogether. Between broken, lack of news and told to go to CC software, I'm done!

    I can understand your frustration.

    I can't count how many bug reports I wrote and not a single one of my problems has been fixed.

    the worst part is that some top adobe employees defend the nonsense they do.

    for example the banding issues in photoshop when you set the cache more than 1 level.

    shareware for $ 15 Don t apps have this problems.

    Yet, the 'solution' from adobe is to display my images only at 100%...

    How can I evaluate my image 36MP or 52MP 100%... I see that a small part of the picture on my monitor then.

    and under 100% photoshop ugly performances of the bands due to the default cache of 4 s setting.

    I know that a zoomed image is not perfect... representation but the hell other apps to do much better.

    Why photoshop is so bad... because it probably computes only in 8-bit when the cache level is set high and then 1.

    anything the banding is introduced in photoshop (on screen, not in the saved file) and makes the most of the unusable zoom steps.

    (I speak of banding in gradients like Sky etc.).

    When I drop the cache assigning 1 banding disappeared but the decline in performance is unbareable.

    Yet other applications manage this FINE! cheap applications coded in small groups... not by a large company like adobe, with all the human s.

    I have pointed out problems with facial recognition... nothing happens.

    I could go for an hour or two... I am so pi * ed now I really the thing to spend at least for the treatment of a different RAW software.

  • Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense?

    Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense? 40 GB of space on my SSD HARD drive was recovered today by disabling the 8.1 windows temp folder. I was wondering what "ACC 22/04/2015-10-09 - 26.log" etc, and when I opened the I was shocked to discover Adobe CC was bringing together these huge logs on my computer since I bought and installed last month. WTF Adobe, how can I turn off or limit, as writes to the SSD of constantly to kill them and I do not consider your logs to be important use of space.

  • 1.5.1 to 1.5.4 update: tree of nonsense on the summary page

    I'm running 1.5.1 build 5440 and selected the menu option help > check updates open the wizard.

    On the last page of 'Summary', a tree is displayed that I don't understand - it seems to be nonsense. I did a screen capture, but I don't know how to join this thread.

    I have no idea what this has to do with the summary page. Any tips?

    See you soon,.

    Published by: Christian Brunner on 02.04.2009 03:08 / changed old version 1.5.1 to 1.5.3

    There is no verification of updates updated to 1.5.1 to 1.5.4. You must do a full install in a new and empty directory. The tree you see here is an example of lack of sunlight and should not be exposed to you. There is a bug logged and known issue. In the meantime, follow the instructions on the update to 1.5.4 download page.

  • When my firefox crashes the error message is garbled nonsense. I have a printscreen image.

    In my view, that the accidents come from my laptop overheating.

    I don't need help with this, it is not a problem. I don't know how to report it as a bug.

    Hi much_noise, thank you for bringing that place - it seems that it is a known problem when generating en - us that will be fixed in firefox 36.

  • I recently had to reload FireFox. Firefox has now acts as an intermediary for all kinds of unwanted programs and other nonsense.

    Firefox has never done this before.

    Hello, it sounds like you have downloaded firefox to a fake site that takes the browser with ad & software malware. Please only download from the official site of mozilla firefox!

    • go to the configuration/program control panel windows, sort by date of installation and remove all the entries that have been installed around the time that you added the firefox probably adware-bundled. also have a look for other unwanted toolbars...
    • run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
    • go to getfirefox.com and download a fresh Installer for firefox. After installing go in firefox > addons > extensions and see if there are toolbars listed: If so, reset the browser.

  • At my camera is nonsense just about me?

    Whenever I try to go in my camera or camcorder it restarts to the motorola screen and back to the top. tried the master reset turn market, tried, tried to reset feature.

    This is leaving me to believe the phone itself is defective and I would exchange it for another. Man this piss me off I have not yet bought the BTI intends to do when I get paid. I wouldn't have to worry about their hasseling me since its still in the 30 first days and phone has been abused or damaged. any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    I knew that something was going to happen as soon as I sold my i465.

    @iiTTTGii,

    There should be no particular problem since you are within 30 days. Even after that, it is covered by the warranty. Except that you may need to perform Exchange by mail. But within 30 days, it should be as easy to walk into the store and exchange the phone. Let me know how it works
