Freeing up space on my hard drive?

[killac93]

Hi, I'm trying to free up space on my Macbook Pro Laptop, but I can't find out what is taking so much space as I've deleted tons of files with little gain. Can anyone tell me how I can gain some of my space back as I'm terribly low and need more space.

First run a maintenance program Yasu or Onyx and do the cleaning routines. Then check out how much iTunes music, podcast and most important videos do you have?

Plus consider getting an external firewire drive like these and using that to backup and to put you music and videos on.

When you say "deleted tons of files", does that mean you put them in the Trash? Have you emptied the trash? Sorry if that sounds basic, but you weren't specific, so I'm just covering all the bases.
