Intel Mac :: "Start Disk Memory To Small, Clean First Excess Files"
Apr 21, 2012
When i want to load or update a new software ; I get a message "Start disk memory to small, clean first excess files"what can I do ? i have very few files ?
I have had my imac for 8Â months with 500gb space. It is saying my start up disk is full and when I check where the space is allocated 435 is in mail. I have tried deleting mailboex( I do have 4, 2 are IMAP and 2 normal) But the beachballs just roll.
Getting a warning message says no available memory space in MAC OS X start up disk.Delete photos and email?Add memory? Both? It is affecting "Applications"  Â
Info: MacBook (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
How do I clean the system start up files, (I've deleted my history, bookmarks, unwanted photo's, movies, transferred all my documents to and external hard drive) and deleted the trash, what am I missing here, as my mac is saying my disk is almost full, shown here the yellow bar (other) is nearly full, what is Other? on a Macbook Air OS X Version 10.9.5
I can't find these files to delete nor do I know what they are...
I have an eMac with a PPC G4 processer. 1GB ram, using Mac OSX 10.4.11. recently I tried to split a Youtube video clip into 2 segments. Unfortunately I input the wrong instructions and ended up with over 3700 4kb files on my desktop. Totally overloaded. Is there any way I can delete these 3700 files without trashing other needed files on my desktop?
Yesterday I deleted enough files to give myself at least 2 gigs of free memory and yet today when I opened up my macbook it tells me I have only 190MB left, and yet none of the files that I deleted remain on the computer, and my trash is completely empty.Does anyone know of any sort of 'Detox' kind of program or method to get the Macbook to reanalyse how much memory it really has left? It's done this before, but I haven't figured out a way to snap some sense back in the harddrive to remind it of the fact that it deleted those large files ages ago.
i was trying to access some info on 70 or so microsoft word files and opened them in pages. realizing i should of just used spotlight ( which i have done to get what i needed) ... my problem is now i can't use pages as it has locked up. i can't close the open window's and get to work.Â
My iMac does not start up as usual. I now get a ' start up disk is full. You need to make space available on your start up disk by deleting files' message. Â I am able to key my log on password however I just get the purple galaxy screen with no desktop.Â
If I try to use the keyboard I get a tone when pressing the keys. Â
Has worked perfectly well up until I got this dusk full message. Â
I just got a message saying that my Startup Disk is full and that I should delete some files. How can I solve this? which type of files? is there a way to clean up enough to make my computer run fast again... latelly it is to slow specially when waking up...
When I try to download a file I receive an error that my start up disk is full. How does this happen and how can I remove files from the start up disk in order to download a movie or other files?
i have a simple game that i am trying to play but i can't it says running low on space. i know my computer can handle this simple game because i have a imac with a quad core processor and 8 gigs of ram and 1 gig video card is it something i am missing.
I've recently gone through my computer, archived my old files and moved most of my media files on to an external drive. I've installed Onyx to clean up log files etc, but I can't seem to find where (or what) the "other" files are. About this Mac is telling me that there's 220GB of "other" files on my start up disk.

My air is saying my start up disk is full. How do I delete files from it? Is there a specific location I'm supposed to delete from, or is it just general files from everywhere--email, etc.
