Frustrated again.

[ysobelle]

So my desktop tells me, as it has for years now, that it's almost full. I have a second drive that has sixteen gigs free. But I have no idea what I can move and what I can't. My Applications folder? My extensions? I don't think I can, but I don't know. Never mind the fact that when I try to move something to the second drive, I get asked to authenticate said second drive. Again.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Umm.. you have too much darned stuff?

OK, Wiseass comment over.

Have you thought about getting an external drive?

Move data. Old financial information that you don't need on a daily basis, old orders that are completed...that kind of stuff.

Your best bet is to probably get a larger drive, and reinstall the system onto that. I haven't worked with Macs for years, so I forget exactly how the various folders work.

Burn data to discs and clear some space on the drive?
I have to do that from time to time... I tend to collect weird stuff.
