Free up drive space without losing content
Authored by: balthisar on Jun 05, '06 07:31:47PM

Well, I just replaced a PowerMac G4 with an iMac 17" -- yeah, I flip-flop -- the G4 replaced an iMac Graphite and it replaced a PowerMac 6400.

The iMac with its puny 150GB drive is at almost the same premium as a laptop. The only reasonable solution is an external drive for the videos. BUT... the latest version of Delocalizer saved me 1/2 a gig, which to me is substantial. It's a couple of years old with no future development, but it still did the trick. Also don't forget to go through all of your applications and destroy the readmes and legals and so on. You also have printer drivers for everything, modem drivers for everything, and background images you won't use, and user account images you won't use, and lots of documentation you probably don't even realize is there. Go ahead and trim down your /Library and /System/Library folders.
