Hello, to Mac friend,
Please can you help me solve an issue concerning Disc Space.

I have deleted a large amount of Media files from my internal HDD and the amount of space remained unchanged. I emptied trash and ran a disc repair with Disc Utility restarted the computer many times.
I noticed that according to the storage info, I have backups of 65.25GB internally. Can you help me understand exactly how MacOSX works in regard backing up on the internal Disc as I have only now realised that this is going on so I assume, when I delete files, copies remain. How can I manage the Internal Backup process?
I don't want the Computer to backup internally as I use External Hard Drives for this purpose.
I would appreciate my computer giving me back my Hard Drive Space. How can I delete the Backup files on my Computer Please. Any Help would be very much appreciated.
I Finally resolved the issue regarding disc space it was Timemachine back ups.
I turn of Timemachine when my external device for it isn't connected.
