I went to upgrade to the new OSX the other week but only had 3.8GB spare space and it needed nearly 5 so it aborted after a few mins. SInce then, I've added abs max 1GB of music/pics yet now I have barely any free space… has the download got cuaght somewhere or something?? Ive checked FInder and there are no significant new files causing it...

just noriced my iphone has 1.4GB of docs and data and 1GB of other… no idea what either of those are but maybe the backup of my phone is causing part of the issue?

I don't believe partial downloads are stored, have a look under '/Library/Updates' (think that's where they're saved to) and have a look.

Either way, time to start clearing stuff off

What was your previous OS, computer model / year. If you paid for upgrade you get 30 days of help (as far as i know from apple) and they will ring you back so no cost to you, I spent a long time updating my oldish iMac (4+ Hours and the same person stayed on the phone and in the end it worked and still does now)

He needs to free up some space, what support is required from Apple?

They could shout slogans down the phone whilst he does it -

"You go OrRob good work"

"There you go OrRob you get those files deleted"
