This page is a cleanup plan for a very full computer.
The computer is almost out of room to hold things.
It lists big files to move onto a plug-in storage box.
We move things to make space, we do not throw them away.
It warns which files are special so nothing important gets lost.
Brandon's computer is almost full, like a backpack stuffed so tight the zipper barely closes. This map shows the biggest, heaviest things inside, mostly music files. Some can be tossed right away (old installers, scratch recordings). The rest get carried to a plug-in drive so the main backpack can breathe. Nothing important is thrown away, it just moves.
Your startup disk is nearly full. Below is the big movable data, split into clear-now (no drive) and move-to-T7. Everything is a move, not a blind delete.
Installers you already ran, scratch recordings, a dated backup, and files already staged for deletion.
Archival folders and audio libraries. Bar length is proportional to size on disk.
Drums (10 GB, 2012) + Hotel Midi2 (6.7 GB, 2016), about 17 GB, not the full 54 GB.
phsih jams holds drums/bass/vocals stems, Phish jams holds piano/guitar/other plus the mp3s and analysis. Deleting either destroys half of every 6-stem split. Merge, do not dedupe, then move the combined 16 GB to T7.
~/Music/Ableton/Live Recordings. Three saved sets reference recordings inside it: Phish n3.als, awd.als, and Hotel Midi2/Old stuff/divina.als. Open those three and run File → Collect All and Save first, which copies the audio into each project. Only then is the rest of the 8.7 GB orphaned and safe. Note divina lives inside Hotel Midi2 but points out to Live Recordings, so those two folders are cross-linked.
That block is the ~14 GB clean win, no Ableton step required. Then empty ~/New Desktop/_to-empty-2026-06-20 on your own schedule. Per your never-delete rule, nothing is removed here, it is staged for you.
