• MacBook Pro says hard disk is almost full, startup disk is full. What should I do to make room?

  My Macbook Pro says that my disk space is low. Another notice came that my Start Up disk was almost full. I don't know if they are the same thing, but I want to know how to make room. Also, how can I get rid of the useless things I let build up because I didn't know any better. Thank you.

  Hi Taylorlaura, if you can use your Mac then move your own files of data on another drive, until you do about 50 GB of space.

  Then download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

• error message 'diskette of starting almost full' when external hd plugged

  My problem is this: I have 72 GB free on my macbook pro (I almost everything save on external hds), but recently, when I plug the external hard drive, an error message appears: 'startup disk is almost full. When I check the free space on the disk, it tells me that I have no free space: all the space is taken by 'Other' stuff. When I unplug the hard drive, everything returns to normal. How can I solve this problem?

• Can not find why the startup disk is almost full

  I got the message "Boot disk almost full" and began to go through the folders. I did an EEG info on my user folder and it says 240gig, my drive is only 250 gig. But when I go through each subfolder that I can't find anything even close to that of grand. I deleted everything that I don't need but can't find where this huge amount of file space is used.

  Simple answer - don't count on the Finder.

  The Finder hides just pieces of the file system that are not relevant for most users.

  When there is only a big gap between what the OS reports is used (240GB) and what you see in the Finder, is most often due to some errant logging process that fills the system logs, with mostly useless data.

  You can view the logs (and other 'hidden' data) using the Finder go-> go to folder... menu and entering: / var

  You can also use /Applications/Utilities/Console.app to view the logs to see if you can identify what process is at fault.

• I get a message saying startup disk is almost full and to delete files. How can I go about it?

  I have a macbook air and a message comes up saying that my boot drive is almost full and delete files to make more space. What files and where? Thank you.

  Buy an external hard drive if you do not already have one and migrate personal files, things like documents, music, photos, videos, stuff like that.  Once they are on the external hard drive, delete them from your computer.  You would remove them the same way you would remove any other thing - click it, right-click, select "Move to trash."  Delete nothing however, until you have moved to an external drive.  If you don't save a copy somewhere, once you remove them, it's over and you can't get it back.

  To understand what that other things that can be deleted are go up --> about this Mac--> storage.  This will tell you how many you have on your hard drive right now.  Post here a screenshot of it.

• My 500 g external drive is almost full, how do I continue with a new drive

  Hi, I started using lightroom 6 months ago and now my 500 g external drive is almost full.

  How can I continue using a new disc? Should I create a catalog by using exactly the same name or drag the catalogue old through without the actual RAW photos?

  Eirephoto wrote:

  ...

  Maybe 6 months work and 38 000 of Canon 1 d & 5ds raw photos are too much to have 1 catalog?

  I work only with 1 catalog, I should create new catalogs more often?

  No, I know users who have photos of 250,000 in a catalog and run them properly. Optimize the catalogue allows from time to time.

• PC warns me that iCloud storage is almost full every few minutes

  Hi all, I have a Dell Inspiron 10 Windows I use now because my Mac came out for running repairs. I installed iCloud on it, and now I get a notification in my system tray about every 5 minutes telling me that my iCloud storage is almost full. It's really annoying - the notification makes a hanging sound and forces me to close them myself. I can't find any way to stop these notifications without having to buy more storage, I don't want to do. Is there another way to stop? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud. Thank you.

  You can disable notifications for iCloud:

  Menu - settings - system - Notifications & Actions - start and then scroll down to "See the notifications of these apps,"

  Click on iCloud and you will have options to completely turn off the notifications, disable 'See the notification banners' or turn off the notification sound

  It's two different things here, so I don't know where is your problem. It's this message about the storage on the iPhone, or there is something on your iCloud storage space, since you mention a backup not too?
