Hello DJTT,
Just wondering for all the mac users... what do you do to free up some harddrive space?

I have a smart folder on my desktop that collects all files over 1gb. I'll check it periodically and clear out stuff I've burned to disc, but forgot to delete. I keep meaning to make smaller incremental folders, 500 mb, 250 mb etc....
I'm probably going to start doing that & When deleting an application you just put it in the trash bin and its gone right?? Cause that's how I've been doing it

Onyx is what I use.
you gotta empty the trash for it to be wiped from the hard drive (and get more space), go to Finder->Empty Trash
i use Disk Inventory X to see what exactly is taking up space on my disk:

Technically your mac deletes these files for you overnight, but if your mac is off overnight when these scripts are supposed to run then they obviously won't run. So using a program like Onyx or similar type of program will ensure the removal of these files...
Also here is a really good article on whether or not you should be shutting down your computer every night... http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/app...shut-down.html
