I'm still rather new to my MacBook but so far I love it. Could someone help me with something. I want to delete some unwanted files I may have downloaded that takes up some of my memory. I have quite a few vids but their all in a designated folder so I know how many Gb it takes up. It just does not add up, it seems like I have quite a few more Gb taken up by something. Is there a way to find out what stuff I put on my computer that it did not originally come with? I want to get my Gb back to a higher number but dont want to delete needed applications. Thanks people

G'day SchwemKd,

You can use this to see where your disc space has gone.

Wow, thanks. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I did not know they made a program specifically for my needs. What a nice world.
