|  | Emptying the Trash

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) allows you to empty the Trash on clients to free up disk space. To find out how much free disk space is on a computer, create a System Overview or Storage report using the Report menu.

If a report shows files that shouldn't be on the computer, you can delete those files directly from the report window. See Deleting Items.

As a part of routine maintenance for computers, you can free disk space by emptying the Trash. Emptying the Trash completely removes from the computer any items you've previously deleted on the client. You can use the System Overview report to see how much disk space you can recover by emptying the Trash.

1. Select a computer list.
2. Select one or more computers in the Remote Desktop window.
3. Choose Manage > Empty Trash.
4. Click Empty.
