Etrecheck reports running out of free space.

Etrecheck reports I'm running out of Disk Free Space. I'm not the least bit technical. Is there anything I can do to overcome this problem short of buying a new Mac which I can't afford? Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Incredibly slow Macbook Pro (mid 2012). EtreCheck results help please. Hello everyone I have an incredibly slow Macbook Pro (mid 2012), running High Seirra. There is plenty of space left on hardrive. I don't use any demanding programmes. Doing anything takes such a long time. Even starting up the computer, opening a finder window, or a web browser takes so, so long. So I saw that doing an EtreCheck is helpful. I don't know what I'm looking at so could someone please help interpet? Thank you so much Matt

My Mac is running out of space. Of the 250 GB, 105GB are listed in grey as 'other'. What can be using up all this storage space?? I don't know how to find out, or if it uncludes things ai don't need and can delete or move out of the internal HD. ?? My Mac is running out of space.

Free vs available disk space huge difference, what is going on? Hey guys! I have new MBP16 as you can see on the screen with te specs. I noticed that when I check information on my Macintosh HD it shows 192GB available to me but when I check in the disk tool it shows only 67GB free. So what the hell is going on? How can I free up the space? When I look at the files, they shouldn't take that much space, 192GB should be closer to reality but disk tool shows only 67GB. This is the state after rebooting the system. Thanks for help!

Move your old, unused documents to an external hard drive or delete them.
