It has happened to almost every pilot: you're excited to download that new app or it's time to download charts for your big cross country, but you get the dreaded 'iPad Storage Full' message. This means it's time to start thinking about freeing up some space by deleting unused apps and media. Here's how to do it. Another way to trim down your iMovie library is by using the Space Saver feature. On iMovie, go to File Space Saver option. This will scan your library for video clips that you don’t use and reject them. And don’t forget to empty your Trash! Solution #2: Delete render files. One of the main hoarders of disk space is iMovie’s render files. Step 5 Add Downloaded Apple Music to iMovie. Now, you can add the downloaded songs to iMovie. Open iMovie on your Mac, create a new project and load up a video clip, then you can drag the downloaded Apple Music songs right into your timeline from the Finder. After dragging, you’ll get the full song, which might not be what you want. Deleting the Render files seemed to do the most good; I’m back to 195GB for the iMovie Library. I also deleted all of my 2013 movie files directly from the iMovie Library instead of just the Project file. That helped a little. I think my next step should be to just transfer the entire iMovie Library to an external hard drive.
