[QUOTE="smssoleimani, post: 877381, member: 43730"] So my Mac HD is full because I partitioned some of it for Window XP through boot camp, and the Mac OS X side is full. Two questions remain...can I decrease the partition size of Windows without erasing the partition or risking anything. But my main concern and question is what the heck is sleep image (macintosh hd/private/var/vm) and why it is 2.0 GB?!? Then theres another file called 2009.07.24.asl ((macintosh hd/private/var/asl) and this is 1.4 GB. What are the reasons for these files, and do I need them? I want to free up some space. Thank you, Steve [/QUOTE]
