Do not panic if your Mac is running slow as there are many ways to free up its space and ensure that your Mac runs perfectly. Before going ahead with the cleaning process, it is important to first ascertain the amount of free space that will be required. This analysis will ensure a faster cleaning process.
The same procedure can be followed when it comes to freeing disk space. Just follow the simple steps mentioned below and disk space can be cleaned without much efforts:
Make sure to empty trash every now and then. Although files are deleted, they still take up storage space in trash which ultimately reducing hard disk space.
Uninstall all one time applications. Many applications might have been installed to finish the work in hand. Ensure to delete all such applications once the assigned job is complete.
Downloads folder must always be clean. Hence, it is important to take efforts to open downloads folder and clear the entire history in it.
Large sized files take too much space. In such cases, compress these large files into a single folder as this will ensure saving disk space.
Do not download music and save it in computer. After every media download, make sure to transfer these files to an external hard drive to avoid disk space usage.
Delete any backup history. iTunes usually back up every media file, find out this back up file and delete it then and there.
Ensure to clear cache and cookies from browsers. All web browsers have their own space to save cookies. Make sure to clear them often to avoid consumption of disk space.
