Hi Julie, it would help to know the size of your HD and how much of it you are using for your applications and documents. Click on your HD icon and go to ‘get info’ which will give you that information. Then post it here so that people can offer practical solutions.
At least a tenth of your HD space needs to be free to be able to run your applications. You can keep stuff such as your photos and documents on an external HD to free up space on your main HD.
