I spent hours on this (as a terminal newbie) and your description helped every step of the way. Not a single detail was missed, and some helpful tips included in there too. You ought to be paid for such generosity. In the end I removed a whopping 31 gigabytes of useless files. Thanks a bunch for saving my, and many others' macs. :) For others still doing this, here are extra tips in the deleting process: -Press "Tab" to auto-type the file name after typing the first few letters of the file. -If "rm" does not work to delete | |

| Apr 10, 2016 at 1:59 | comment | added | user2252374 | How would I reboot into my old OS? | |
| Apr 10, 2016 at 1:51 | comment | added | mmmmmm | OK going Terminal and use du to find which directories use space or reboot again into your old OS and then do the check for space | |

| Apr 10, 2016 at 1:47 | comment | added | mmmmmm | First is to find out what is using your disk and then delete it - you could start by Emptying Trash - see questions e.g. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/63170/… | |
