problems deleting audio

[mrjim1984]

Hi,

I'm using a 2014 MBA OS X Yosemite with a 128 SSD. I'm conscious of not wasting any space and as I stream music using Spotify, I wanted to delete most all of my audio/music files. I use Garage band a lot, but I always save my projects on a ext HD and remove from my MBA. I have in the past installed other Audio software (Maschine) but decided against it and removed it properly as it was sizeable.

So.. I went about deleteing all non essential music from my MBA keeping just 3.13 GB in my iTunes folder on disk & all removing all Garage band audio files.

But when I check via About this Mac / Storage it says I have 11.57GB Audio on disk!!?

I've looked everywhere on my MBA and I can't find 11.57GB of Audio!

Can anyone explain why the Audio is so high???

Make sure you emptied your Trash.

Just for grins, the attached photo shows what my hard drive looked like before and after I emptied the Trash on my Mac.

You could also use a utility like Daisy Disk which scans your hard drive and, in addition to telling you what type of files you have, will tell you where they are located. Then you can zero in for the kill... er, delete.
