The MacBookas a general rule, they do not have a great SSD storagesince we must pay a quite high extra cost, so, we usually have space problems, especially if we download large games or movies.
It is true that, once we do not need it, we usually erase it, and this is where many make the mistake, thinking that their MAC works similar to the iPhone, and that everything we eliminate, definitely leaves and free us space on the disc, when it is not.
How to correctly delete files in Mac
For definitely erase a file On iPhone, we do not have to do anything, then, after 30 days, it will leave forever and we will not be able to restore it, however, it is something that, in Mac, is not configured, although we can do it as we will see today.
Many people, after eliminating several files, continue with their navigation as if nothing, however, the MAC space will be the same, because despite being in the paper, they will never be eliminated, only if we do it manually, something that, we can also forget.
That is why we will have to activate the same mechanism that the iPhone have, and that, Every 30 daysthere is a deep cleaning, thus getting these leave forever. It is true that we can make it manual, however, it has two problems. The first is that, possibly, we want them to be a few days, in case we regret or have eliminated it unintentionally, and second, that if we will leave them, we will end up forgetting and when we look at the bin, there are the same there are files of many months ago, occupying GBS of space data that we need on the disc.
How to activate automatic paperwork
For this we will follow a few very simple steps. As we said, natively, it will be deactivated, so we must do the following to activate it correctly:
- Open the Finder: Click on the Finder icon in the dock (the one with a smiling face).
- Access the Finder preferences: In the upper menu bar, select Finder And then click Preferences.
- Activate automatic deletion: In the preferences window opens, select the tab Advanced. There you will see an option that says “Eliminate elements of the paper after 30 days”. Activate this box.
Ready, from now on, all the elements will be kept, for security, 30 days in the paper, being able to restore them. However, once that time has passed, they will be erased forever, recovering the space on the storage disc.
You can also erase it, manually, whenever you want, if you are clear that you will not want to recover them at any time, being able to release that space before.
And you, did you have this option active? Do you review your bin from time to time? The truth is that I, I am quite clueless, and the last time I looked at her without this active, I had hundreds of GBS in it, however, since I put it, at least I assure myself that, although I forgot, I will recover the space after a month, something that has served me a lot for my mac to go lighter and always have available storage.
