We have all been in the situation when, after hours of working on a complicated movie, there is not enough space to save it. This can be really infuriating so here are some things we could do to improve the situation:
1. Empty The Trash
I know it sounds stupid but the number of times people have asked for advice without emptying the trash is HUGE. Putting files in the trash does not reduce the space they take up on your computer. To empty the trash click and hold on the trash icon (bottom right in the dock) and select "Empty Trash"
2. Buy an External Hard Drive
For most people out there emptying the trash is only a temporary measure and something else will be needed to free up more space. When buying an external hard drive make sure that it is Mac compatible!
3. Delete Other Languages
This is a little bit more technical than the previous two. Allow me to explain: Applications are saved in English but also in every other language. Most people only want their Apps in one language anyway and deleting the others can free large amounts of space. To do this open Finder (Bottom left in the dock) and click "Applications". Right click ('control' + click) the selected application and click "Show package contents". In the package contents open "Contents" and "Resources". Look down this column and find any folders that end in .lproj and delete them, APART from the English one. This should free loads of space without effecting any of your Apps!
