[QUOTE="6string, post: 937096, member: 120039"] It depends on what you have one your mac....I have a relatively small applications folder (3.5GB), and my system folder is 3.86GB due to me only having a few supporting items related to applications which belong in there. Off memory they are files/components that are related to iLife, but I am sure that if I had a good scan through that I would find supporting items for many applications in there. The original size of the system folder on a clean install would still have been around the 3.5GB size. Having so many applications on your system, 4.5GB sounds about right. After a quick scan.... frameworks 1.66GB, private frameworks 489mb, Fonts 212mb, core services 165mb. So that's around 2.5GB just in 4 of the larger folders. [/QUOTE]
