I noticed my Mac file system file was filling my 256 gb drive. I decided to update my hard drive to get more space. The shop that installed the new drive and transfer the data indicated that the hidden system file folder had 12-15 old Quicken backups (over a year old) that were 10.5 gb each. I do not even no how to view hidden files on my Macbook, I have no idea how or why those files got there. A year ago I began doing monthly backups manually to the desktop and transferring to an external thunderbolt drive which seems to work fine. I had the technician try to remove those old backups from the system file, no problem doing that but when opening Quicken for the first time Quicken it could not find my data file. Ultimately they transferred the data from my old drive for second time and quicken opened file with no problem.
My question is I have 150GB of old backups in the system file that I would like to clean up (really didn't need bigger drive at all $400 blown), I am OG been using Quicken for windows for 10 years prior to Quicken for Mac (last 5 years). I have no clue how to get rid of those files (or even view them) and technician feels the same way.
Please help and Old Man get this squared away.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
