    Increase APFS partition to include "Free Space"

    I just upgraded a 2009 Mac Mini 3,1 to High Sierra. The first thing I did was to take the original Hard Drive and using a cloning appliance I cloned the old MacOs HD (120GB) onto a 250GB SSD I had laying around. Unfortunately, that created a 120GB partition with the OS and a 130GB "Free Space"...

    Deleting huge files, but not freeing up space!?

    I moved to High Sierra a few months ago, and I was noticing some weird behaviour with what my storage space was showing. I have a 1tb SSD in my MacBook Pro. I only have a few hundred GB of my own files. I just deleted about 200gb of files from my desktop, and there is no change in free space...

    Lately I keep getting low on space on my iPhone. Usually after going into the Photos app somehow that seems to free up some space. Perhaps it shifts more photos to the iCloud? Anyway, when I plug my phone into my Mac it says 16.54 GB is taken up by "Videos". I don't know what that can be. I...
