Documents, Downloads & Organizing
In the Storage Management window, click Documents and you can learn about Large Files and Downloads. In File Browser, you’ll see the folders in your Home directory, sorted by size, and can browse through your hierarchy therein. (Don’t have a hierarchy? Let’s book a session to discuss the value of an organized file system.)
One of the first areas of discussion with clients, especially those suffering from full drives, is Downloads. My suggested practice with Downloads is that you immediately consume what you download (read, install, import, etc.) and then file what you need to keep or trash what you don’t.
Take some time to review your Downloads and see how much space you can clear by deleting what you no longer need. You may find duplicates, applications you installed, photos to import into your library, and more.
