How do I remove all old data in iMovie '11
In iMovie '11, I've started a few projects that didn't work, so I deleted them out. Before I started the projects, I had 32GBs free on my computer, and before I deleted them, I had 2GBs free on my computer. Once I deleted them, I still had 2GBs free on my computer. How do I delete the old "deleted" data from these files? Currently, I can't save anything on my computer and I don't want to wipe my hard drive.
I'm not sure if that would work or not, but I went and deleted the master files in Finder:
User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters.
170GBs later, I have space again!
Thanks for the help.

I want to erase all the data I loaded onto my new macbook pro yosemite. I want to have it cleaned of all the data photos etc I have loaded so it is like a new computer again. I already have all this data on a hard drive so I don't need to back the data up.???
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
HT201250 how do i remove all backups from another macbook that has been sold
How do i remove all backup data from time capsule for an old mac?
I have Finder set up to display any attached hard drives (done via Finder Preferences/Sidebar) where the hard drives are listed as devices. The hard drives are listed under "Shared" in the actual Finder sidebar. I selected the network hard drive containing the spare image bundle I want to delete which leads to whatever I named the next level which allows me to connect to/mount the hard drive, which shows the hard drive contents. I select the spare image bundle and select delete.
We may be into a terminology difference problem, which, gee people never have that problem :-)))))
What is confusing me is your use of "shared folder", but I think that may be the place to start if the folder is actually a hard drive. If not, try the devices. Looking at both shouldn't do any harm.
What you are looking for is something with whatever the name of your old computer was which when selected shows "Sparse Disk Image Bundle."
You may need whatever user name and password you had on your old computer to actually connect to/mount the hard drive.
Hopefully this is clearer than mud. I've had a few liquid refreshment glasses :-)) -

This may also be useful. Although backing up and restoring via iCloud works, doing it via iTunes may be better, and here's why:
Via iCloud your actual apps are not backed up, just a record of the fact that you legally own them. When you restore, your new device knows it's OK to download and install them again from the App Store. This is fine for all apps that are still available, but for those that have been removed from the App Store you're going to be without them.
It is also a lot faster to transfer a ton of apps from iTunes via the cable than to download them all over wifi.
Another advantage of doing it via iTunes is that all your network/wifi settings and passwords will be included in the backup/restore process. (Make sure you have selected "encrypted backup" for this to happen.) This way you will not need to mess around typing them all in again.
I've tried both methods and would definitely recommend going "old school" via iTunes for these reasons. Hope this helps. -

I have just purchased a new ipad2 to replace my old ipad. How do i sync all the data in my apps I am worried about losing my data?
iPad settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party party app along with app settings are included with the iPad's backup along with other data.
If you are syncing your iPad direct with iTunes on your computer via USB, the iPad's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
The first time you connect a new iPad or iOS device to iTunes that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new device. This is followed by a sync to transfer the same content from your computer that is on the old iPad to the new iPad such as music, movies, tv shows, 3rd party apps, photos, audio and print books, etc. -

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.

Generally Mugration Assistant will suffice importing all Data ito a new user, but you can manually import it...

Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs) -
How do I erase all the data on an old imac?
How do I erase all the data on an old imac, so I can safely sell/give it away without any personal information on it?
JoelBoot with your original install discs, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase, reformat, and zero out the data. Once that's finished, reinstall the OS and on first boot quit the installer and shutdown the machine. Give the original discs to the new owner and when they start it up, they'll experience the first time Setup Assistant. Since it's not a new machine, there should be nothing associated with Lion or ML to muck things up.
