A Quick Way to Save 1.3Gb of Space on OS X
If you bought iLife 09, you’ll know that it’s filled with lots of new features. One of these is videos in GarageBand of professional musicians teaching you how to make better music.
If you’re not a music person, these are just taking up space on your hard drive — lots of space. 1.3 gigs of space to be exact. Here’s how to reclaim that space:
- Delete the GarageBand Application. Go to the applications folder of your computer, scroll down to GarageBand and drag it to the trash. You will be asked to enter your password.
- Delete The Support Files. Go to the finder. Open the ‘Macintosh HD’, then ‘Library’ then ‘Application Support’. Here is where most of the big files are hiding. Scroll down to the ‘GarageBand’ folder and drag that to the trash as well. Again, enter your password.
- Don’t Forget to Empty Your Trash
Now you’re done, and with 1.3 more gigs of space to fill with the files that matter to you.
