My Mac Keeps Saying 'Disk Full' - What's Going On?

Are you tired of seeing that dreaded 'Disk Full' message on your MacBook Air every time you start it up or try to access a file? I know how frustrating this can be, especially when you're new to the world of computers like me.

I recently purchased a new Macbook Air last October and have been trying to figure out why my disk is always full. I'm not exactly tech-savvy, but I've managed to stumble upon some possible solutions that might help you too.

The first thing I did was check the settings to see if there were any programs taking up unnecessary space on my hard drive. To do this, go to Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and click on the padlock icon at the bottom left corner. Enter your Mac's username and password to allow changes, then drag and drop the 'Drag This' image into the Security & Privacy window.

Once you've done that, you should see a list of all the programs that have access to your disk. Look for any programs that you don't recognize or haven't used in a while, and consider uninstalling them to free up some space on your hard drive.

Another thing I did was check my email settings to make sure they weren't storing any large files or attachments on my computer. It's easy to forget about these types of files, but they can quickly add up and take up valuable space on your disk.

Finally, I also made sure that all the components were properly checked in the Full Disk Access list. To do this, go back to Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and look for any programs that are not check-marked. Make sure you have SophosScanD and/or Sophos Installer added to the list, as these programs may be taking up space on your disk.

I hope these tips help you solve your 'Disk Full' problem! If you're still having trouble, feel free to reach out to me or post in the comments below.
