[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1338464, member: 135495"] Mac applications take very little space; it's not like Windows. I'm guessing you have a ton of music and pictures filling things up. email can also get big if you never delete anything. In the Finder, open a new window and then on the left under Places you should see the username. Click on that once, and then File-->Get Info (Command-I). It should pop open a window that says "Folder size" among other things. That's all your music and such under most normal setups. Then click on the top left icon, which should be your hard drive. When you click on that, what folders and files do you see? You can also go to Applications--> Utilities --> grab which will let you capture some screen shots to post which might help us see what's on your hard drive. [/QUOTE]
