This will show you the biggest files on your computer and what’s taking up the most memory. Organise your files by size – Go into Finder, click “All my files” and then “arrange by size”.I also went through “iPhoto events” which had copies of photos I’d already deleted. Once you’re sure you don’t want those photos anymore, delete them for good. Go through “recently deleted” in Photos – Photos has its own trash can in the form of “recently deleted”.I removed three of the accounts and now just check them on the actual Outlook/Gmail website instead. FOUR! That’s thousands and thousands of emails, and therefore a huge amount of memory being used up. Go through the Mail app – I had four different mail boxes on my Mail app.Here’s how I reduced my “Other” storage and created 50GB of free storage on my Macbook Air: Basically, it’s a load of files and messy things (there’s a technical term for that I’m sure, but anyway). “Other” is basically everything except for photos, videos, apps, music and backups. Yet, while those categories went down in memory, “Other” remained quite high.
I transferred old photos/videos/files to a USB and deleted whatever I didn’t need. This shows you a breakdown of the memory on your computer.įrom there you’ll be able to see what’s taking up the most storage. Go to “About This Mac” and then click “Storage”.
To check how much storage you’ve free on your Mac and what’s taking up memory, click on the apple in the top left hand corner of your screen. You don’t want to end up deleting critical files and losing things of high sentimental or functional value. If you’re deleting files, photos and documents from your laptop, all I can say is be careful. So I looked up a few ways to clear storage online, and while some were helpful, I found a good few ways to free up storage by looking around my laptop myself. This isn’t at all the kind of post I’d usually put up, but if you’re a blogger/YouTuber/file hoarder, hopefully this will be of some help to you and stop the dreaded “your startup disk is almost full” notification. I just didn’t understand how so much space was being taken up when I transferred pictures, files and videos to a USB regularly. I am, however, someone who constantly had to clear space from their laptop because of all of the photos and videos I import. Let me start by saying that I’m no computer-whizz or Macbook expert.
