OS X Yosemite v. 10.10.4 (because not enough space for upgrade)

MacBook Pro 13-inch (late 2011)

Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Startup Disk: Macintosh HD

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

Storage: 320 GB SATA Disk (163.7 MB free of 318.84 GB)

Received the message "Startup Disk almost full." I would like advice/help on how to alleviate this issue without deleting important memories/docs, etc. My Macbook Pro is using  Airport Extreme at home with an Lacie-Porsche Design 500 GB with ~100 +/- GB free. Thank you

Move the files to the external drive that you don't need to keep directly on the Mac, then delete them on the Mac once you verify the files are copied.

Hi,

Backup.

If you have at least 5GBs free space available, preferably 10GBs, then read on, otherwise you’re just going to have to delete/transfer as many large files (videos, pictures, audio) as possible to reach 10GBs of free space or more. Once you have enough free space available to allow you to download an app to help you out, follow the next paragraph.

Again, if you haven’t yet done so, backup in case you delete something you wish you hadn't. Then use one or more of the following to see exactly where your space is being used, then delete or transfer and then delete larger files (and empty the trash; you may also have to restart for the extra free space to show up) until you increase the available space to at minimum 10GBs and that will do as a stopgap measure (you should optimally leave more than that free). Do not transfer/delete anything unless you're sure of what it is, and not something the OS needs:

Thank you for the suggestion. This will work. I just need to become more "fluent" in searching, restoring and retrieving, if necessary, info from my separate hard drive. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my post.

Thank you for the insight on the software going forward. I definitely need to work my way to that point. Thank you for taking the time to answer my post.

You're welcome. Take the "almost full" message very seriously. Plenty of people have posted here that they can no longer access anything on their drives when they become too full....
