[QUOTE="zacster, post: 1303957, member: 17931"] When you deleted the video, did you empty the trash? Did you really delete the file in the first place or just remove it from iTunes and leave it on your drive? You really need to delete a lot of files, and then empty the trash. Alternatively you can buy an inexpensive external drive and copy files to it, but you then have to delete them from the internal drive. And EMPTY the TRASH. It is possible you have something very large too. When my computer was down to about 10gb I started looking and couldn't figure out where all the space went. It turns out my son's account was using about 170gb of the 250gb on the drive. In the meantime he had bought himself a Macbook and didn't need any of it, but he left it on the hard drive hidden from me. The 1gb under "about this mac" is the RAM, the 300mb in the finder is the hard drive space remaining. These are unrelated. What you care about right now is that the 300mb is insufficient space to do anything. You should have at least 10gb available, so that means if you make the space you shouldn't just start saving files, videos, music, pictures until you run out again. [/QUOTE]
