I helped a customer with his computer today and found out it lacked memory space. She was hoarding e-mails dating back about 15 years. And they had many attachments. We gained 300GB of space deleting those older than 2015. What data do you hoard on your PC?

My MacBook was soooooooo freaking sluggish. Waking it up was a 10 minute ordeal. I was having trouble saving word documents. They just wouldn’t save. Apparently, iMessage on my computer was keeping ALLLLLLLLLL my text messages, including a ton of pictures, since the year 2016. I was like… wtf … deleted that shit, logged out of iMessage, and my MacBook is running like new for the last couple of years. .
