Anyone good at this stuff ? (daft question, I agree)
My wife has a laptop with a 250ish SSD inside and that’s almost totally full.
Nearly 60G of that is in users – MrsPants – appdata – roaming – apple – mobilesync – backup
another 50G is in users – MrsPants – pictures – icloudphotos
I don’t do apple but she tells me that she has her phone backed up to icloud
The bit of reading I’ve done suggests to me that the stuff on her SSD is likely just duplication of that and probably could be dumped. She got rid of the older backup of a previous phone but that removed only about 5G so we need more space
… however, I don’t want to be killed in my sleep so I need to KNOW that we can get rid of this shit and rely on the icloud
(the other thing is, are the 60G in the backup totally different content to the 50G in icloudphotos or again are we duplicating three times over)
Any tips/warnings welcomed thanks !
