My MacBook Air is running a 120GB SSD drive so I don’t want my hard drive full of excess things I don’t need. I just noticed after El Capitan that I lost a lot of space. I only had 10GB free. To run well a mac hard disk needs at least 20% free. Here’s how I freed up some more space.
On June 8, 2015, Apple previewed OS X 'El Capitan' (10.11). On September 9, 2015, Apple quietly noted that the ship date would be on September 30, 2015, and issued a formal press release the day before. OS X 'El Capitan' is named after the El Capitan mountain inside the Yosemite National Park.
I ran Disc Inventory X to see where the excess space was taken.
- OS X El Capitan remains available for Mac computers that can't upgrade to macOS Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra or Sierra, or that need to upgrade to El Capitan first.
- El Capitan and older Mac OS's cannot see drives formatted as APFS, so they do not appear on the Desktop. To reboot to your Catalina, Mojave or High Sierra formatted APFS drives restart your Mac and press and hold. Down the option/ alt key until the Startup Manager screen appears. Select your Catalina, Mojave or High Sierra.

- Download El Capitan OS X is also significant since it’s the last version of Apple Mac OS X releases as its successor Sierra was released in the year 2016 under the brand macOS. El Capitan is a rock formation found in Yosemite National Park, which gives out the meaning that the new release is a solid version of its predecessor, Yosemite.
1. Remove old iPhoto library.
Look at this screenshot from Disk Inventory X: The pink section surrounded by the yellow line is my old ‘iphoto’ library. The large turquoise section to the left is the new ‘Photos’ library. El Capitan came with a new app called ‘Photos.’ The new Photos app imported my old iPhoto library, but it didn’t delete it! They are the same photos, the entire library has been duplicated. Deleting my old iPhoto library released almost 7 G of space!
To find the file just right click on the box and select ‘reveal in finder’:
This took me to the following folder:
I just dragged this to the trash and saved 6.6GB.
While I was at it I went to my ‘Applications’ folder and deleted the old ‘iphoto’ app which took up 1.7GB.
I could do this pretty confidently because my macbook air is my second machine, all my photo’s are only home computer if anything goes wrong.
2. Gmail ‘All Mail’
This huge multicoloured box turns out to be the Gmail ‘All Mail’
I discovered 15GB of gmail data in Apple Mail. Yes Apple mail now by default seems to download the gmail ‘All Mail’ folder which included every email you’ve ever deleted on gmail. The ‘All mail’ folder had over 17,000 emails in it. No wonder my internet usage was high last month – my laptop must have downloaded the entire 15GB of emails from gmail.
Thankfully it was a simple fix.
Here’s how to disable the ‘All mail’ folder from being downloaded to your Macintosh.
Go into Gmail.com, then go to Settings on the top right menu, then under the ‘Labels’ tab I changed ‘All Mail’ to ‘Hide’
I still needed to delete the files from the hard disk manually.
I am using OSX El Capitan, and Mail version 9.1. I am not sure what other versions of mail have this problem.
Apple El Capitan Update
Other items… Apple remote desktop download free.
The were some other files I found with Disk Inventory X, (Old installers, old apps, some movies) and when I deleted them all in total I recovered 30GB!
I need to download the El Capitan to install on my Mac computer. What is the best place to download the El Capitan dmg or El Capitan iso.
Is this a good question?
Comments:
I've been looking for El Capitan for weeks and today I finally managed to get it.
The Appstore no longer has OS X El Capitan available to download.
To solve this issue follow this link: http://bit.ly/ElCaptanOriginalOSX
.
The Appstore only has updates but not the original OS. So If you did not download El Capitan before it was removed from the App Store then you will not be able to get it from the Appstore anymore. You can now only download it via alternative sources, Just make sure they are trusted sources though. Hence I recommended the link above.
Mac Os El Capitan Download
Hope this helps you also.

@katemor Its not true that App Store no longer has El Capitan as download. It does not have it as download, if your Apple-ID has never registered a machine with El Capitan. Otherwise they are still there.

And your link points to a place, which charges $20 for Apple software. Not quite legal.. Macbook pro net development.
