Hey Guys

I just wanted to say a Big Warm Thank You to All of You! Really great advice and ideas and thoughts. I am proud to be a part or this forum as when it counts we can all get together and solve issues and help eachother in a great manner!

Again Thank You for all the suggestions. I ended up getting DaisyDisk that Ben posted about. It is soo skmple yet really powerful and as you said easy to understand when that part of the tech isn’t greatly understood by the user (Me)!

Ran it a few times and found many files I had no idea they were there as those didn’t come up showing the large GB they took up.

For example Spotify had taken 22GB of space and God knows what it was but my guess is a lot of cached files and saved songs we never saved for offline listening and also found some 12GB UVI Synsations library files I was certain was on a library SSD which was 11GB library that was super easy to move. And hidden files around 20 GB that was deleted and also a guitar plugin I never used which was another 8.6GB and a few more

So in total my system usage is around 39GB which Sardi said pretty spot on and now I have almost 100GB extra space to play with so used GB is now 122GB out of the 250GB internal drive so npw that app is going to the studio and look thru our 3 trashcans there before I remove the SSD backups and wipe them clean in preparedness for the 2 shiny new Mac Pro 2020 we ordered today

Jeez ... Apple really know how to charge for their name and design as those two MP’s were not cheap

So again Thank you all and I will do a short unpqcking video of the MacPro’s as soon as they arrives just for fun and to help some of you guys who wanna see them in action and by a unbiased user
