![]() ![]() Once when the new OS is out and once in the middle of the summer. So what I do is every 6 months I re-install my mac. I also use Xcode and the latest beta takes up 7.5GB+ so that is a good chunk gone already, versus the Xcode 6 version which is 5.5GB so those 2 already take up over 10% of the drive. On my internal drive - I simply just have the apps and I only have the apps I use 70%+ of the day on my MBA drive - the rest lives on my external drive. I figure if I am doing anything that requires a substantial amount of work in my photos or iTunes, I will be sitting down and plugging in a drive is no biggy. On that drive I have my photo library and all the big stuff. I bought am external USB3.0 drive that I carry with me all the time. So with that out of the way, this my workflow - I have a 128GB MBA, so I am in a similar position as you. PC's and MAC's alike are coming with less internal storage options and somewhat force you to rely on the cloud and / or external storage. I totally agree with not having / wanting to spend more than you initially should have, but I think we need to start changing our mindset a bit. So, it this is not a direct answer to your question because it is kind of a work around. I might try CleanMyMac 3 at some point but I haven't heard about it too much yet.ĮDIT: I will include your ideas in OP if it helped, but the best hint still gets a tick tho Of course a system won't just magically lose "weight", but I can remember being at 45gb of free storage 10 months ago and my computer usage hasn't really changed since. It's just weird that, without installing applications, I see my drive getting more and more filled up with junk (I guess). What else can i do? Having a 120gb MBA I have no choice but to locate every single file that's not completely necessary. OnyX ( 300mb) : it's rather fixing stuff than deleting but it also looks for some temporary files that were meant to be - but never have been - deletedĭeleting Garage Band (maybe 3gb) : as I am using nothing but Ableton for music production I deleted the app and most of its contents except for some fine drum samples 6 of them already make half a gigabyteĬCleaner ( 5gb) : well-known on Windows but not too popular among mac users it took care of my cache files (basically Chrome ( 2.2gb) and Ableton( 1.5gb) but it also deleted some system caches If you "lower your standards" every session you will eventually end up even looking for folders smaller than 100mb but it's totally worth it as e.g. This way I for example found about 8gb of iTunes cache files that haven't been deleted, some xCode caches and simply big folders of other applications. OmniDiskSweeper ( countless gb) : like TreeSizeFree on Windows it lists directories by size. Many people say it destroys your applications but I've been using it for 5 months straight now and never experienced any problems It can also delete classes for older architectures but that was only a few mb, languages is the main focus of that app. Monolingual ( 2.5gb) : deletes unused languages in applications. What I've done so far (and how much it deleted) is: Just drag one of the languages to the top of the list to select it as your primary language, as shown in Figure 6-8.I am fed up with all these useless "Delete old pictures" "Delete your trash" BuzzFeed-tier articles so I am hoping for some qualified ideas here. ![]() You see a listing of the languages the Mac can switch into, in the corresponding languages-Français, Español, and so on. Open System Preferences→Language & Region. ![]() It lets you type vertical Japanese and Chinese text includes fonts for 20 more non-Roman alphabets (including the ones you need for five Indian languages) offers “filtering by tones, ordering and filtering by radical or stroke count, and improved pinyin-han conversion accuracy” (you have to be a Chinese speaker to appreciate those tweaks) and much more.įirst, tell your Mac which languages you’d like to have available. ![]() OS X’s facility with language, though, goes the extra overseas mile. You can shift from language to language on the fly, as you type, even in midsentence-without reinstalling the operating system or even restarting the computer. Apple has always taken pride in its language-friendliness. ![]()
