I have 120gb internal drive on my macbook air, early 2015.
I have been doing some work moving files around and copying to external drives as I found with all drives I had many duplicates. Deleted many from internal drive on Macbook too.
This morning I woke up only to get message that my drive was almost full. WOW!
What a shocker.
I cleaned out my trash and that seemed to at least get rid of the terrifying message that drive was almost full. It still look pretty full.
So I copied all my data on desktop, in documents, pictures, music, movies and any other folder I thought there may be files to another external drive. And deleted all my files on macbook.
Nothing anywhere that I could find to delete.
I then emptied my trash. shut down to rest a bit. then restarted again.
i checked my storage and the OTHER section is 40.49GB...what on earth is included in that?
I realize that apps and related files take up room but that much???
can anyone shed some light?
I dont imagine browser bookmarks and history takes room for this section.
