[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1629056, member: 204485"] I agree wholeheartedly with what has been said, AdWare Medic is great as is Ghostery to protect you from unwanted addons and adware. Generally apps don't take up much space but you really don't need many other than the native apps installed already. What really takes up storage space is media: movies, pictures and music. The next thing you should buy is a USB external hard drive. Why? Because 128 Gb is very small, in fact I question that. I thought the smallest SSD in that model was 256 Gb. Perhaps you should check that. Go to the Apple Menu > About this Mac and select the Storage Tab at the top of the window that appears. That will show you total storage and how much is in use. (and for what) Even 256 Gb isn't much these days. I would suggest you purchase a 1 Tb ext HD and using Disk Utility (in Applications) format and partition it so that you can use one half for Media storage and the other half for Time Machine backups. If you need instructions on how to do this we are more than willing to help.;D [/QUOTE]
