[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1628733, member: 24160"] Frankly, if you're a photographer, you're not going to store much of anything on a 160 GB drive. You really need to upgrade the hard drive in that machine. With 5 GB free, I would have to guess that machine is running like someone using a walker - on a good day. And I hope you're keeping good backups.

First things to do, check and make sure your trash has been emptied. Second thing to look at, do you have a bunch of stuff you've got stored in the Downloads folder you no longer need? Like apps downloaded and already properly installed - like leaving the .dmg file behind, etc.? [/QUOTE]
