Without the right settings in place, iTunes might be duplicating your entire song library without you even knowing it.

The first time I realized my 10GB of music collection had doubled to 20GB, I was surprised. Go to the Trash located at the bottom-left of the dock, review the files in there, then click the Empty button at the top right corner of the Finder Window. This might be all you need to do to clear that full startup disk error message. A full recycle bin might have taken up to 30GB of your available storage. This is the first step anyone should take. This solves the insufficient drive space error showing up even though there is sufficient drive space available issue within Origin Client on MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.Before you start uninstalling your favorite applications or deleting important files you might eventually need, you should consider taking these steps first to claim back your storage. Īfter totally and completely removing Origin and all traces of it, I restarted my Mac and DLed and set up Origin Client again. So after I completely removed my virtualbox for windows 10 AND Ubuntu Linux, I found this list of instructions to completely remove all traces of Origin on my Mac. EA HAS DONE NOTHING FOR YEARS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

The EA forums show NO SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I tried most common sense solutions ie download and execute the Origin Reset Tool, manually deleting origin, messing with my partitions (don't do this part if you have no clue what you're doing, you will render your computer inoperable and corrupt your hard drive, DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING), etc and so on and on and on. After I set up a scalable partition and installed windows 10, my origin client started to bug out.

I encountered this error when I quit sims 4 and then set up VirtualBox to run windows.
