Help!
The computer is telling me to delete files because "my start up disk is almost full".
Ive been cleaning up old emails and the like.

What kind of files are the best to delete?

Video movies eat up memory but I dont have any on my computer.
But I do collect songs.
I only have a few hundred now ( dont some people have thousands?)
Is my music collection to blame for filling it up?
I hope not.

any suggestions?

Get yourself an external (USB) hard drive, and move all your songs and saved files (but not your installed programs) to it. That should clear up some space on your start up disk. Oh, and stop saving things on your start up disk. Your start up disk needs room to breathe, for your computer to be able to work.
