Slowing Down
Macbook pro 2.5 GHz 4gb memory
Getting sluggish performance.
So I checked my hard drive
Hard drive 232 GB
Only 27.5 remaining.
So its 88% full.
I like to keep it under 80%.
My Apps take only 8 GB
My documents folder only 23 GB
My entire users folder 50 GB.
But my root level library is 60 GB.
FCS library alone is at 16 GB.
I didn’t think libraries should be taking this much space.
Is my system set up wrong?
Do I just need a bigger internal HD?

hello…
it might be stuff that is temporary in nature and can be removed – have you tried to run disk cleanup to see what can be removed?
also, you can try some of the steps outlined here:

[Curtis Thompson] “have you tried to run disk cleanup to see what can be removed?
“Hi Curtis,
When I add up all my master folders on my hard drive they come to about 127 gigs. The hard drive is 232. There are only 22 gigs remaining. That means there is about 83 gigs hidden.
What is disk cleaner? How safe to use it? I’ve backed up all.
