That is so helpful, thanks.

Okay well one of the first things we can easily see is that your Parallels virtual machine is taking up a lot of space ... any chance you can offload that file to an external hard drive and run your Windows from there? Do you really NEED to run Windows on your Mac?

Next, what's that ISO disk image? That probably doesn't need to be on your boot drive either. Move it (it maybe part of the Parallels thing but I doubt it).

As you mouse over the squares, it will tell you at the bottom exactly what those items are, and if you right click on them it will give you the option to delete them (which I'd be very cautious of doing unless you're sure its something you don't need anymore or have backed up elsewhere). There's obviously one HUGE document (the big blue square at the bottom), you should figure out what that is and if you need it as well).

I see a few other smaller "disk images" you don't need, so just adding up the things I've said you can definitely move or clear, you can get back at least 13GB ... that's 10 percent of the entire drive right there.
