Apple Mac Filling Up!
9 Answers
I am not really computer literate and my Apple Desktop is filling up and slowing down.
Is there a programme that will automatically remove surplus stuff and maybe confirms with me
before doing so. I'm sure there's a lot of dross on the machine after ten years!
Any input welcomed! Many thanks, Bramley.

Just to be clear, the desktop has nothing to do with how much storage is left on your Mac's internal hard drive. Be very wary of utilities which will claim to free up space. You say you are not computer literate, but I strongly suggest that you read Apple's own suggestions first: https:// support. apple. com/ en- us/ HT206996

or take the pc into a small Apple pc store (we have one in Truro that is still open). For about 25 squid, they'll do a complete clean up for you.....it's worth it. Can't speak for Apple but on my last purchase, I went from 44GB of 85GB used to 24 of 280GB, the 20 reduction being the removal of past Windows updates that are redundant and my bro-in-law says that Apple updates hang around too.....
