In kasta oo aan MacBook Air leeyahay 120GB oo adag, waxaan had iyo jeer la halgamayaa inaan ka dhigo meel kayd ah oo igu filan oo bilaash ah. Mar kasta oo aan eego booska bannaan, waxaan had iyo jeer dul wareegayaa agagaarka 15-20GB.

Taas oo^(Which) aad u malayn karto in aanay ahayn qadar yar, laakiin marka ay hoos uga dhacdo 10GB, kumbiyuutarku waxa uu bilaabaa in uu tuuro farriimaha khaladka bootka ee joogtada ah.

Tan iyo markii aan iibsaday MacBookgaygii^(MacBook) ugu horreeyay 2012, waxaan isku dayay habab kala duwan oo aan ku ilaalinayo kumbiyuutarka sida ugu macquulsan. Waa kuwan hababka la tijaabiyay ee aan la imid. Qaar waa iska cad yihiin halka kuwa kalena aysan ahayn.

Soo hel faylashaada ugu waaweyn^{(Find Your Biggest Files)}

Talaabada ugu horeysa waa inaad heshid hoggers-kaaga ugu weyn.

Waxyaabaha qaarkood waxay noqon doonaan kuwo is-caddayn. Haddii aad isticmaasho iMovie tusaale ahaan, feylasha fiidiyoowga ah ee aad hadda ku shaqaynayso waxay qaadan doonaan meel aad u badan. Haddii aad muusig ka soo dejiso iTunes, dhammaan faylashaas m4a waxay qaadan doonaan meel badan. Haddii aad isticmaasho app-ka Sawirrada^(Photos) , maktabadda sawirku waxay u badan tahay in ay boos badan hayso.

Maktabadda iMovie waxay ku jirtaa galka " Filimnada^(Movies) " tayduna hadda waxay cabbirkeedu dhan yahay 12GB (midig-guji faylka oo dooro " Hel Macluumaad^{(Get Info)} " si aad u aragto cabbirkiisa). Warbaahinta iTunes, oo ay ku jiraan muusiga iyo filimada, ayaa ku jira galka " Muusik^(Music) " (15GB kale). Xogta sawiradu waxay si dabiici ah ugu jirtaa " Sawirro^(Pictures) ".

Xalka ugu fiican ee waxyaabaha ay ka midka yihiin iMovie iyo iTunes waa si fudud in loo raro galka ul USB weyn ama darawal la qaadi karo oo ku lifaaqan oo farta abka meelaha cusub.

Ku kala sooc Faylasha Xajmigooda^{(Sort Files By Size)}

Talaabada xigta waa inaad u kala soocdo dhammaan faylashaada adag sida ay u kala weyn yihiin. Si arrintan loo sameeyo, fur Finder ka dibna liiska sare, dooro Go ka dibna dhawaan^(Recents) . Haddii aadan arkin dhawaan, dhagsii Dhammaan faylalkayga^{(All My Files)} .

Tani waxay markaa isku shaandhaynaysaa dhammaan faylashaada. Haddii ay ahayd inaad gujiso All My Files , guji sumadda leh saddex xariiq oo toosan si aad u muujiso faylalka liis ahaan.

Guji cabbirka^(Size) madaxa ilaa faylka ugu weyn uu ka soo muuqdo xagga sare. Ogow, liiskan kuma jiraan^(NOT) abka iyo faylalka nidaamka. Haddii aadan arkin Cabbirka^(Size) , kaliya midig-guji mid ka mid ah madaxyada tiirarka (nooca, magaca, iwm) oo dooro cabbirka^(Size) .

Haddii aad midig-gujiso mid ka mid ah faylasha, waad tirtiri kartaa. Ama haddii aad rabto inaad aragto galka uu ku jiro marka hore, ku dhufo midigta oo dooro Show in Enclosing Folder .

Waxaa jira^(are) abka kuwaas oo kuu sameeya dhammaan faylkan weyn ee kuu kala soocida, sida OmniDiskSweeper -ka bilaashka ah . Laakiin markii aan tijaabiyay, waxaan ku soo gabagabeeyay in aysan wax badan ka qaban inta aan kor ku soo sheegay.

Tirtir dhammaan faylalka aan loo baahnayn ama ka dhaqaaji kombiyuutarka^{(Delete All Unneeded Files Or Move Them Off The Computer)}

Talaabada xigta waa in aad si weyn u tirtirto.

Diirada saar^(Focus) meelaha faylal badani ku urursan yihiin. Kani badanaa waa galka la soo dejiyo^(Downloads) , Desktop -ka , iyo qashinka qashinka^(Trash) . Tirtir^(Delete) wax kasta oo aadan u baahnayn oo faaruqi qashinka^(Trash) . Halkaa^(Right) , waxaad u badan tahay inaad ku aragto horumar weyn oo meel bannaan ah.

Marka xigta^(Next) , ku tuur wax kasta oo aad rabto inaad ku hayso hal gal. Marka xigta^(Next) , qaado usha weyn ee 128GB ama^(USB) Hard Drive oo la qaadi karo oo ku wareeji wax kasta oo ka baxsan kombiyuutarka.

Adeegso isku xidhka xulashada ee Kaydinta daruuraha^{(Use Selective Sync On Cloud Storage)}

Haddii aadan rabin inaad isticmaasho usha USB ama darawal la qaadan karo - ama aad weli rabto inaad awood u yeelato inaad si dadaal la'aan ah ugu soo celiso faylasha kombiyuutarka MacOS - markaa kaydinta daruuraha waa doorasho adag. Laakin si aad boos uga badbaadiso kombayutarka, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad isticmaasho sifo lagu magacaabo " Selective Sync ".

Xulashada Xulashada waxaa^(Sync) bixiya dhammaan xarumaha waaweyn ee kaydinta daruuraha, oo ay ku jiraan midka aan isticmaalo ( Sync.com ). Halkani waa meesha dhammaan faylashaada lagu shubo degelka adeegga kaydinta daruuraha, laakiin goobaha abka desktop-ka, waxaad dooran kartaa mid ka mid ah faylalka lagu dhejiyay kombiyuutarkaaga.

Markaa dookhyada abka desktop-ka ee Sync.com , waan ka saari karaa sanduuqyada faylalka aan ka rabo kombiyuutarka laakiin waxay ku sii jirayaan akoontayda onlaynka ah. Dropbox iyo Google Drive waxay leeyihiin ikhtiyaarkan sidoo kale dookhooda.

Uninstall Apps Aan Loo baahnayn – Si sax ah^{(Uninstall Unneeded Apps – Properly)}

Uninstalling apps-ka aad ayey uga fududahay Mac marka loo eego kuwa Windows -ka . Iyadoo Mac ah , aad si fudud waa in aad ku rid app galay bin qashinka^(Trash) oo aad tirtirto.

Dhibaatadu waxay tahay, sida Windows , tani ^(Windows)gabi ahaanba^(completely) ma tirtirto. Faylasha kuleylku^(Temp) inta badan waa laga tagaa, iyaga oo dhisaya xadi aad u badan oo ceeriin ah oo, waqti ka dib, uruuriya oo qaata meel qiimo leh.

Tani waa sababta aan u jeclahay AppCleaner -ka bilaashka ah .

AppCleaner , waxaad ku jiidi^(AppCleaner) kartaa faylka app-ka AppCleaner waxayna ugaadhsan doontaa dhammaan faylasha la xidhiidha inaad tirtirto isku mar.

Ama waad dejin kartaa si aad ugu soo dirto faylka app-ka qashinka^(Trash) iyo AppCleaner isla markaaba kaligiis ayaa ku furma dhammaan wixii la xiriira si aad u nuugto.

AppCleaner waxa kale oo ay kuu sheegi kartaa inta boos ee app kasta uu ku qaadanayo si aad u go'aansato haddii ay mudan tahay in la tirtiro si boos bannaan loo sameeyo.

Waxaad sidoo kale ka saari kartaa widgets iyo plugins, kuwaas oo aan dib u soo celin doonin in badan^(THAT) oo bannaan, laakiin qayb kasta oo ka tirsan ayaa tirinaya.

Jooji Rakibaadda Apps-ka haddii uu jiro Nooc Browser ah^{(Stop Installing Apps If There Is a Browser Version)}

Qaar badan oo ka mid ah apps caan ah ayaa dhab ahaantii hadda si isku mid ah u wanaagsan - haddii aysan ka fiicneyn - noocyada shabakada. Tani waxay meesha ka saaraysaa baahida loo qabo in lagu rakibo noocyada desktop-ka, taas oo kuu badbaadin doonta booska mustaqbalka fog.

Tusaale ahaan, LibreOffice waxay ku qaadataa ilaa 4GB oo boos ah kombayutarkayga. Laakin haddii aan uninstall-ka ka saaro oo aan isticmaalo Google Docs beddelkeeda, waxaan dib u helayaa 4GB iyo dhammaan meelaha ay faylalka LibreOffice qaadan lahaayeen.

Sidoo kale, hubi inaad akhrido maqaalkeena walaasheed ee ku saabsan sida loo isticmaalo qaar ka mid ah apps web sida apps desktop^{(use some web apps like desktop apps)} , si aad u hesho waxa ugu fiican ee labada adduun.

Barnaamijyada kale ee leh noocyo shabakadeed oo wanaagsan waxaa ka mid ah:

• Skype
• Spo t ify
• Dabacsan^(Slack)
• Jeebka^(Pocket)
• WhatsApp
• Boostada^(Mail) (halkii u beddel email-ku-saleysan shabakadda).

Faaruqi Folderka kaabta ee iOS^{(Empty The iOS Backup Folder)}

Haddii aad caado u tahay isticmaalka iTunes si aad u kaydiso qalabka macruufka aad Mac , waxaa laga yaabaa in aad rabto in aad ka fikirto in la tirtiro folder gurmad macruufka ah. Markii aan hubiyay shalay, waxay ahayd ku dhawaad ​​21GB, dib u noqoshada bilo!

Si aad u hesho galka, u tag Finder , ka bacdi Tag ^(Go), ka dibna Tag Folderka^{(Go To Folder)} .

Sanduuqa soo baxaya, ku qor sidan soo socota:

~/Library/Application
Support/MobileSync/Backup

Tirtir^(Delete) sanduuqa soo baxa Kaliya^(Just) xasuuso inaad sameyso macruufka cusub oo dib u soo celi isla markiiba ka dib ama dib u samee iCloud.

Gabagabadii^(Conclusion)

Kuwani waa waxyaabaha aan sameeyo toddobaad kasta si aan u hubiyo in kombuyuutarku u nadiif yahay intii suurtagal ah. Lixdii biloodba hal tallaabo ayaan u sii socdaa oo aan dib u habayn ku sameeyaa kumbiyuutarka, taas oo ah wax aan ku soo qaadan doono maqaal dhawaan.

How To Free Up Space On Your Mac OS X Computer FAST

Despite my MacBook Air having a 120GB hard drive, I аm alwаys struggling to keep enоugh storage space free. Every time I look at my availablе space, I am always hovering around 15-20GΒ.

Which you might think is no small amount, but when it drops below 10GB, the computer starts throwing up continual boot error messages.

Ever since I bought my first MacBook back in 2012, I have tried various methods of keeping the computer as clean as possible. Here are the tried and tested methods I came up with. Some are obvious while others are not.

Find Your Biggest Files

The first step is to find your biggest space hoggers.

Some things will be self-evident. If you use iMovie for example, video files you’re currently working on will take up a tremendous amount of space. If you download music from iTunes, all those m4a files will be taking up a lot of space. If you use the Photos app, the photo library is likely to hog up a lot of space.

The iMovie library is in the “Movies” folder and mine is currently 12GB in size (right-click on the file and choose “Get Info” to see its size). iTunes media, including music and movies, is in the “Music” folder (another 15GB). The photos database is naturally in “Pictures”.

The best solution for things like iMovie and iTunes is simply to move the folders to a large USB stick or attached portable drive and point the apps to the new locations.

Sort Files By Size

The next step is to sort all of your hard-drive files according to size. To do this, open the Finder then in the top menu, select Go then Recents. If you don’t see recents, click on All My Files.

This then shuffles all of your files together. If you had to click All My Files, click the icon with three horizontal lines to show the files as a list.

Click Size in the header until the biggest file appears at the top. Note, this list does NOT include apps and system files. If you don’t see Size, just right-click in any of the column headers (kind, name, etc) and select Size.

If you right-click on one of the files, you can delete it. Or if you want to see which folder it is in first, right-click on it and select Show in Enclosing Folder.

There are apps that do all of this large file sorting for you, such as the free OmniDiskSweeper. But after trying it out, I’ve concluded it doesn’t do much more than what I have described above.

Delete All Unneeded Files Or Move Them Off The Computer

The next step is to go on a big deleting purge.

Focus on areas where lots of files tend to accumulate. This is usually the Downloads folder, the Desktop, and the Trash bin. Delete everything you don’t need and empty the Trash. Right there, you are likely to notice a big improvement in space.

Next, throw everything you want to keep into one folder. Next, get a large 128GB USB stick or a portable hard drive and transfer everything off the computer.

Use Selective Sync On Cloud Storage

If you don’t want to use a USB stick or portable drive – or you still want to be able to effortlessly bring back files to the MacOS computer – then cloud storage is a solid choice. But to save space on your computer, you need to use a feature called “Selective Sync”.

Selective Sync is offered by all of the major cloud storage platforms, including the one I use (Sync.com). This is where all of your files are uploaded to the website of the cloud storage service, but in the desktop app settings, you can choose which of the files are synced to your computer.

So in the Sync.com desktop app preferences, I can uncheck the boxes of the folders I want off the computer but they will remain in my online account. Dropbox and Google Drive have this option too in their preferences.

Uninstall Unneeded Apps – Properly

Uninstalling apps is much easier on a Mac than it is on Windows. With a Mac, you simply have to drop the app into the Trash bin and delete it.

The trouble is, like Windows, this does not completely uninstall it. Temp files are often left behind, building up a huge amount of crud that, over time, accumulates and takes up valuable space.

This is why I love the free AppCleaner.

With AppCleaner, you can either drag the app file onto AppCleaner and it will hunt down all of the associated files for you to delete at the same time.

Or you can set it so you can send the app file to the Trash and AppCleaner immediately opens by itself with all the related crud for you to nuke.

AppCleaner can also tell you how much space each app is taking up so you can decide if it is worth deleting it to make space.

And you can also remove widgets and plugins, which won’t give back THAT much space, but every bit counts.

Stop Installing Apps If There Is a Browser Version

A lot of popular apps actually now have equally good – if not better – web versions. This removes the need to install the desktop versions, which will save you space in the long run.

For example, LibreOffice takes up about 4GB of space on my computer. But if I were to uninstall it and use Google Docs instead, I will get that 4GB back and all the space that LibreOffice files would have taken up.

Also, be sure to read our sister-site article on how to use some web apps like desktop apps, thereby getting the best of both worlds.

Other apps which have good web versions include :

• Skype
• Spotify
• Slack
• Pocket
• WhatsApp
• Mail (switch to web-based email instead).

Empty The iOS Backup Folder

If you are in the habit of using iTunes to backup your iOS devices to your Mac, you may want to consider deleting the iOS backup folder. When I checked it yesterday, it was almost 21GB, going back months!

To find the folder, go to Finder, then Go, then Go To Folder.

In the box that comes up, type the following :

~/Library/Application
Support/MobileSync/Backup

Delete the box that comes up. Just remember to make a new iOS back up again immediately afterward or backup to iCloud.

Conclusion

These are the things I do on a weekly basis to ensure the computer is as clean as possible. Every six months, I go one step further and completely reformat the computer, which is something I will be covering in an article very soon.
