Description
Experience Level: Entry
Problem 1: I have a MacBook Air 13" early 2015, 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. 240 GB Solid State PCI Drive. Mojave 10.14.6. I use Clean my Mac to get rid of rubbish. As I write this the only programmes open on the task bar are Safari and Finder, and CMM reports that of 4GB memory I have 67 MB available (and sometimes this is much less). If I ask Clean my Mac to free up memory, I immediately get 1.56 GB Available. But this goes down very quickly. I constantly get an error message saying the system is full up. So I have moved all the documents to Google Drive where they are stored in the Cloud, not on the computer. If I look at Storage in "about my computer", it reports that Documents are 44.5 GB; iOS files are 34.69 GB; Mail is 14 GB; iTunes and other bits are 13GB. System is 75.53; Other Volumes 2.84. Available 40GB. Is there anything I can do to free up memory so the computer runs better?
Problem 2: MacBook Air 13 inch 2017 1.8 GHz Dual Core Intel core i5; Memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3. Catalina 10.15.6. Apps use 14.66; Mail 1.01 (though I never use mail on this computer); Documents 1.83 (but if I go to the Documents folder there is nothing in it); Messages 8.68 MB (I never use it) System 11.06 GB; Other 7.68 GB; Other Volumes in Container 65.13GB. Its ridiculous because there is hardly anything on this computer - I gave up using it because it is so full!
If you can help please respond.
