[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1604053"] Aliases just point to where the real files/folders are located. You can trash them, but they don't take up much disk space. Better candidates for making space are music, picture, and movie files. Those are large and can be moved to external drives relatively painlessly. Also, you could use [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr"]Onyx[/URL] and let it clean out your cache files, log files, etc. One other consumer of hard drive space could be Time Machine, if you let it run and don't have an external drive holding the backups. It creates temporary files on the internal drive until the target drive reappears. [/QUOTE]
