[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1647645, member: 24160"] While I am a big proponent of having a bootable backup, with only 20 GB free, cloning back from CCC or SuperDuper! is only going to be a short term fix (like maybe 2-3 weeks or so) before it's right back to the same issue. If you don't have a bootable backup, I'd sure suggest making one just to be able to keep using your computer if/when the internal drives dies until you can get it replaced. The top defrag app is iDefrag which is going to cost you $40. And it takes time. Since you say you've got no personal data you're interested in saving - I'd just create the new admin account, delete the old one and call it a day until you get back home. Doing that will delete all your personal data, music, movies, documents, everything. When you get back home it's time to consider maybe replacing the drive with a new faster, larger capacity drive when you do that clean install. [/QUOTE]
