Re: HOW MUCH HARD DRIVE SPACE HAVE I GOT LEFT?
Hello Simon, To find out how much hard disk space you have left, select your drive in Finder and do a "Get Info" with Command-I. Use item chooser menu to look for "Capacity", then VO-Right Arrow. You'll read the entries for Capacity in GB and then the available space. There are other ways to find this from terminal or from disk utility or using the system profiler, and maybe someone else has a quicker solution.

Re: HOW MUCH HARD DRIVE SPACE HAVE I GOT LEFT?
Hi Ester; This question reminded me about one of my own. In my desktop it shows applications, users, library,, and system; but it also shows something called previous system that is taking up over 15 gb on my harddrive. Can you tell me what this is and if I'm allowed to delete it should space become critical.

When you're in Finder, go to the desktop and select your computer's name. Hit command I. Thing brings up info on the selected file or folder or, in this case, volume. Interact with the scroll area, and use VO navigation to navigate around. You will hear things like "name," and "kind," and "last modified," and eventually, you should hear "capacity," and a number, then "available," and a number. The available number is your answer. When you've gotten all the info you want out of this window, simply close it. \I hope that's what you were looking for. I also hope I'm not the 8th person to post an answer... :) Mark BurningHawk Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi, Go to Finder and press "CMD" + "SHFT" + "C" and navigate to the volume you want to check. Then press "CTRL" + "CMD" + "I" to bring up the information dialog. Then find the size.

Hi, Previous system is all the files from a previous system when you do an archive and install. If you don't need any of these files you can delete it.
