I have run out of space on my 120Gig HD, I checked my own files and they are only 12GB my library folder is nearly 70Gigs. Anyone any advice on cleaning?

There's a nice little free app called GrandPerspective which has an interesting way of showing you where your disk space has gone, which might help. <http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/> Cheers, Chris > <http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/> Yes, I'd recommend this one, too. In my experience there can be a huge amount of stuff lurking in the Library's Cache folder. Adobe programs store rendered previews there and also the QuickTime cache can grow to humongous sizes. Regarding QuickTime you can set the cache size in System Preferences > QuickTime > Browser.
