What to Delete in OmniDiskSweeper?

Hi! I noticed that "Others" has been consuming majority of my disk space and now, it's already 22.13 gb. So, I downloaded OmniDiskSweeper to delete some of its contents but I don't understand what it says so I also don't know what to delete. Please help me! I attached a photo of what OmniDiskSweeper has been showing me. Thank you!

I already deleted some files in my Home folder. All that's remaining are my school files. Hmmm. That's weird. I'm sure I attached a photo. Okay, here's a link to the photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmk0f7fp3eurufc/Screen%20Shot%202013-08-28%20at%2010.2 5.43%20AM.png Thank you!

What to delete on internal HD if using external HD for storage

Need to free up mac mini 2010 HD space of 200 GB of music. Currently have an EHD as a backup and may add another for backup. What gets deleted on the internal HD if I have my itunes backed up to the two EHDs. I deleted somethiong on my emac years ago and had to rebuilt my itunes collection , do no t what to mess it up again. Also, if I partition one EHD that is a clone of the mac min/itunesi can the other EHD be just an itunes backup?

What gets deleted on the internal HD if I have my itunes backed up to the two EHDs
Nothing as those are backups on the external drives.
Quit iTunes.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your internal to the external (not a backup).
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the /iTunes/ folder you copied to the external.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder from your internal.

Can i get back the backup file what i deleted on icloud?please, help me. thanks

You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

What to delete from drive c

Please, i need someone to advise me on what i can delete from my drive c on my nokia e7. The memory is almost full and i have the cache but still i see no much results. I downloaded x - plore and it shows me a lot of things on the memory.
My problem is that i don't know what to delete since i am afraid i may end up destroying my phone. Can someone please help me by telling me some of the things i can delete without destroying my phone?

Some typical suggestions for clearing drive space are;
Uninstall applications, games, utilities you do not use.
Transfer any photographs, video files and music files stored on the C drive to the memory card or a computer.
A large number of text messages and e-mails in your inbox can start to eat up space too. Clear them out.
If you can connect the phone to Nokia Suite and a computer. Nokia Suite has a function to clear space on the drive and it will not get rid of any important system files

Calender delete markings, what is deleted ?

Calender has the option that the user input is deleted after some time which can be specified. Now, what is deleted ? All the user input including e.g. markings which are repeated every year ( like birthdays) ? I would not want to test this...

Anybody ? What is deleted from the calender ? All the user markings or just the ones which are not repeated ?

You could restore from your backup, but there is no way to locate an item you cannot identify that you deleted.

The ePrint center can not release my email address what I deleted. So, I have to change another.

What does deleting music off iPhone do?

Let me start off by saying that I do NOT use iTunes Match on my iPhone, I sync all my music directly to the device. What does deleting the music do off of the iPhone? Does it also delete it off the computer? Does it only delete it off the computer if the music is "consolidated" in the iTunes Media folder? Does it prevent it from syncing on the phone again but does not delete it from machine?
Thank you

Deleting music from your iPhone DOES NOT delete the music from your computer. It will automatically not sync the music to your iPhone again unless you specifically say so on the machine.

What is the "iTunesControl" file on my iPod, and what does deleting it affect?

Hello,
I just bought an iPod Classic 160GB Slim (newest model), and I'm using it in manual sync mode on my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 11. I just noticed that it has a file named "iTunesControl" (149 MB large) residing in the "ROOT\iPod_Control\iTunes\" folder. In contrast, the iTunesDB file in the same location is only 52 KB. It's worth to note that I have only put a double disc album (27 songs totalling around 144 MB) on the iPod so far.
I found various posts online indicating that the "iTunesControl" file is usually around 20 MB in size, so why is mine 149 MB? Is this normal??
Also, what does this file do anyway? And will it balloon in size as I add more music to the iPod? What would deleting this file affect?
Thank you for your help.

It's not usual, or necessary for you to be looking in the Root folder of an iPod. If you delete a file like that, don't be surprised if your iPod stops working. One thing you will notice (in the capacity bar shhown when you connect the iPod to iTunes) is that some space on the iPod is used by "Other". This is data that the iPod uses for control etc. and its size does vary, and change. The only time you need to do anything about the "Other" is if the space it's taking up on your iPod exceeds 1GB or so. (Especially when you have a 160GB iPod with just 27 albums on it.)
Use iTunes to manage your iPod - it will do everything you need.
My advice is that you learn to use the Sync method (no such thing as manual sync) to manage your iPod.
Import your music into iTunes
Edit any of the music information you need to, in iTunes
Create, alter/mange your Playlists in iTunes.
Connect your iPod to iTunes and allow a Sync to occur.
Eject your iPod
Use your iPod
Subsequently:
Add new music, albums, songs and any other media to your iTunes Library.
Edit the data in iTunes
Change your Playlists to add the new songs and remove other songs etc.
Connect iPod to iTunes and allow the Sync to occur.
Eject your iPod
Use your iPod.
Ongoing:
Have a play with things such as Smart Playlists and leearn how they work and how much you might like using them.

What does deleting a user account do?

What does deleting a user account actually do? If the account that is being deleted is the one from which many programs have been installed, does deleting the account delete the software too?

It instantly deletes everything to do with that account.
But programs can be installed for all users or just one user.
There is an Applications folder at root, then possibly another one for each user, if the Apps aren't at root, then they'll be gone deleting the user that installed them for only that user.

Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan, I want to delete my iCloud account on this phone, will delete my iCloud account too? And what about deleting my personal datas on iPhone, will it delete my data on iTunes?

Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan. I want to delete all of my personal data on my phone, will it delete my data on iTunes too? And same goes for iCloud; I want to delete my acount on my phone because, I guess this is a more convenient way to delete my personal data but I'm not sure if it will delete my iCloud account too or not because I'm getting an iPhone 4S and I'm hoping, the back up data like games & apps and music on my 3Gs will be transfered to 4S.
Thanks!

All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.
