How to delete backup of 60gb that is on Macintosh HD?

I'm about to use time machine to create a backup and im using a 160GB hardrive. It is saying it needs 200GB to back the system up but I have since found there is 60GB of backups on my Macintosh HD that is probably taking up the space.
How can I delete this?
And before you all say just get a bigger External Hardrive, I have used this before to back up via time machine so I know it works.
Thanks for your help in advance.
P.s I'm not Mac Expert so full help will be needed.

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is...

No longer use this email account but how do you backup the email that is in the "example" folder, So that I can delete the account on my mail app?

Not sure what you mean. Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes, not any messages stored in custom “On My Mac” mailboxes, if that’s what you mean. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :

I bought a new 3tb internal drive for my windows machine so I can backup an external drive which I didn't know was mac formatted. When I was trying to extend the capacity of my internal drives in wndows so it would add another 3tb I accidentally chose my exteranal drive and it changed the master boot record although I cancelled the process the drive won't mount in my mac anymore. And I get those errors in the disck utility.
The data in it are very important I was trying to backup it to my sohotank harddrive enclosure which already had a 2tb and now a 3tb installed. Any help would be appreaciated.
I'm now trying to create an image of the mac drive and had reformatted my 3tb drive to Mac just so I can place the image there. I don't know if it would work or it will jus take too long because the progress bar is not moving at all.
Thanks!

How to delete original photo's that have been retouched?

For Ex: I'll have 8 similar picture's of my ferret's that I have retouched in order to look better--but how do I delete the original 7 that I don't need anymore? And this goes for practically my entire library--I have about 1000 photos with about 8000 similar duplicates--that I don't need.
How do I get rid of these . . . and I've tried iPhoto Diet--and (I might be using it wrong or something but) it doesn't delete more than 3 or 4 photos after about 30 mins. and like I stated above I need to get rid of about 7000 more photos.
I've tried going thru each and everyone deciding if it was the better "retouched" photo but it takes light years to go thru my entire library.
Any easier way?
Thanks!
--Dave

Ok, let's try:
In the finder sidebar, you should have the different Music, Applications, Pictures Icons. In Pictures there should be one folder called iPhoto Library.
I set up a Smart Folder (in Finder > File > New Smart Folder), searching for the term 'original' within my Pictures folder.
This folder should show you all the Originals folders within the iPhoto Library.
Clicking on List View (Apple-2), you can sort your Originals folders (well, at least the search results) by Date, if you know you edited some pictures today or yesterday, or by size, finding the most edited pics from one day.
Clicking on each of these Originals folders will reveal the original, unedited pics (which you probably wanna throw in the bin, if you don't need them), as well as the MPG movies which some digital cameras can make. So be careful with throwing away the whole folders before checking the contents.
If I really want to keep an original shot, say if I do some major colour change in Photoshop for example, then I usually duplicate the photo within iPhoto. This way I can edit one, and still keep the second, both visible within iPhoto, without having to worry were the 'invisible' Original is.
I hope this makes things clearer. Let me know, if it helps.

How to delete them from my photos in I Pad?

If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

How to delete backup data in icloud to free up storage space?

My iphone 4s has not been backed up in 3 weeks because it says "there is not enough iCloud storage available". Through viewing the data sizes currently backed up in iCloud, the Camera Roll is taking up 99% of the space. I deleted almost everything from the camera roll and photo stream on the actual iphone device, but what do I need to do in order for the storage space to be freed? Is there another place I need to check to delete data (i.e. photos) and regain the storage space available and resume successful backups?
Many thanks,
SM

So by selecting "Delete Backup" it will delete everything backed up to iCloud from other apps as well, correct? Is there anywhere I can go to view the actual data being backed up and specifically delete certain data? Without knowing exactly what has been backed up, I'm hesitant to delete everything.

How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

Hi there,
I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
MY CONTEXT
So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
MY PROBLEMS
1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
MY QUESTIONS
PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
OR if I say that another way
How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless :-/

It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

How to delete a Word doc that won't highlight from Finder sidebar

I have a Word 'doc' in the sidebar in Finder which no longer either highlights or opens (it used to). I would like to delete it. If I double tap it I get: Open Sidebar Preferences which doesn't help. I have tried Command and both command and option and, because it will not even select (i.e. highlight) I can't drag it to trash or delete it. Any ideas how to delete it? I have successfully removed other Word docs from the sidebar.

CMD-Drag, works for me.

In Mail, how to delete an email address that automatically comes up as a ch

I have deleted one email address from Address Book, and it is gone in the address book. However when I start an email to this person, that deleted email address still shows up as a choice below the current email address of this person. How do I delete the old email address from this location?
Thanks to someone who can answer this

Eva, I found where the previous recipient information is actually stored, unfortunately I don't have a solution yet though.
Mail's "previous recipients" list is actually stored in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data. However, as the name suggests this is actually where all your Address Book information is stored. Deleting the file AddressBook.data got rid of my entire Previous Recipients list, unfortunately it deleted my entire Address Book as well. Dragging the file back to the Application Support folder caused every Address Book entry to be duplicated... so I don't recommend this strategy
I reverted to an Address Book backup to set things right again.
So it would appear your mystery addresses are probably in the AddressBook.data file, unfortunately I still don't know how to excise the ones you don't want.

How to delete productgroups in SRM that where replicated from R/3?

Hello,
When I change for example the description of a productgroup in R/3 OMSF, and subsequently download the table content via R3AS, the changes are replicated to SRM.
When I delete a productgroup in R/3 and use R3AS the productgroups aren't deleted in SRM. Probebly because there are dependency's.
How can I delete those productgroups in SRM?
There are some threads that discus this toppic, but they are not clear for me what steps to take.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jorgen van Elten

Jorgen,
Your best option is to deactivate the Product Category in the Org Structure > Extended Attributes > Product Category.
After doing this the deactivated category will not show in Product Category searches for users so cannot be used.
This will leave the Product Category in place in SRM for any dependent documents.
If you are using Catalogs you will also have to make sure you have no items that refer to the Product Category or shoppers will get an error message.
An error message will also be received if they attempt to maintain a PO containing the removed category.
As always with SAP it's easy to put things into ECC/SRM but a lot harder to remove them due to the historical documents.
Hope this helps
Allen.
