Not sure of you have duplicated files? Use the trial version of Gemini 2 to find out.
If you have a lot of duplicated stuff on your system - especially audio and video files - then a tool such as Gemini 2 should help free up some storage space.
If you want to clear out the system caches, temporary files, and other detritus, I suggest running a tool such a Cleaner for Mac (it's free). You might free up a few megabytes or hundreds of gigabytes! You can begin by deleting your trash (right-click on the icon and choose Empty Trash). How long this will take depends on how fast your internet connection is and when you last did a backup, so factor that into the equation.Īt the very least, you should plug in a USB stick and copy over onto it any important files and documents (just in case something goes wrong). Alternatively, you can do an off-site cloud backup.
