Are you running out of storage space on your MacBook Air? Do you find yourself constantly getting error messages about low disk space slowing down your Mac? If so, it's time to clean up your MacBook Air storage. In this article, I will share my experience and tips on how to free up storage space on my MacBook Air running macOS Sierra (or OS X).

The first step is to check the current available space on your hard disk. To do this, go to Apple menu > About This Mac, then select Storage. You can easily see your disk usage from the About This Mac box. I realized that installing macOS Sierra increased available hard disk space on my Mac.

Before we dive into the tips, let me tell you why freeing up storage space is important. Not only will it increase your Mac's performance, but it will also help prevent errors and slow downs. In fact, having low disk space can even cause issues with installing new apps or updates.

So, what are some ways to free up storage space on your MacBook Air? Here are a few tips:

* Select an item you want to get rid of (files or folders) by going to the Finder > Uninstall Unnecessary Applications, Delete Items You Do Not Need. This will help declutter your computer and free up disk space.

* Upgrade to the latest macOS version. I did this on my Mac and noticed a significant increase in available hard disk space.

* Check the Users folder on Macintosh HD for any shared files that you no longer need to share. Delete them or ask others who have access to follow these steps.

* If your Mac is set up for multiple users, delete users that no longer need access to your Mac.

Other ways to free up storage space include:

* Deleting old backups if you use your Mac to back up your iPhone or iPad

* Erasing deleted items in the Mail app

* Deleting files in your Downloads folder

* Deleting music, movies, podcasts, or other media, especially if it's media that you can stream or download again as needed

By following these tips, you should be able to free up a lot of storage space on your MacBook Air. Remember to always check your disk usage regularly and take steps to maintain optimal storage space.
