Hi there

I currently have a MacPro 2x 250gb and 1x500gb
i've tried to remove all the large files to another HD however, it hasn't done much and my startup disk has 34gbs left
Is there a program (other than tidy up) which will locate these large files or at least assist me in cleaning up my primary HD?


Thank you

Wow, well I would image that a Mac Pro would have more than ample space. You can install an application called Monolingual, it goes and searches all of your installed programs and removes all un required languages from the system. Last time that I ran it I saved about 1.6 GB of space.

Also try backuping up your Music or any other large file to an external hard disk.

Good Luck

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program.
