I am not very techy so please explain to me like I am a 5 year old.
This application is taking up tons of space on my computer. I have deleted old listings etc. Went to my image library and I have images there from 2024 @ 17,000 of them. Some of the images are from items that I have sold. Unfortunately still have some items left from 2024 that I need the pics for.
Is there another way so the app. does not take up so much storage on my computer.
Thanks in advance for help.
shut down GS and start it while holding down the “control” key. A menu pops open and chick the check box for “remove orphaned Library images”. It will remove unused images only. Any still in use or ended listings are untouched. If you know how to use scripts there is one that removes all but 1 photo but scripts can be fraught with pitfalls for a novice. It is not fixable once you run unless you have a backup copy on Time machine.
Like I said - not techy to start using the control key. If I hold down the control key I am not getting a menu option
Thanks for working with me.
Quit GS. Press and hold the control down while opening the GarageSale program from your hard drive or the Dock. This menu pops open.
Click open and this new menu opens. Check the box to “Delete orphaned Library images”
This is all that comes up for me when I right click on it. When it is in the dock it just says keep in doc or hide.
What am I doing wrong!
You got it! Now click “open”, the first on the menu, while holding down the control key
It was added I think GS 9.0. What version do you have? Found under “Garagesale” in the menu bar “About Garagesale”
I has 9.95 - Looks like you have a new Beta version. but the version I have is up to date and the latest according to my computer.
You are right, 
. It was added on 10.0.
10.0 is only out in beta
Will that be available for us lowly people soon? I do appreciate your help so thank you so much.
You have to wait on GS developers to answer that. 10.0 has been out for quite a few months(apr 12). They let out early versions for more experienced users to help debug new features so as not to cause harm to novice users.
That new option to remove orphaned images files will be available in the upcoming version 10 of GarageSale.
You can already download a beta version of GarageSale 10 here:
GarageSale 10 Upgrade costs:
• beta version accepts GarageSale 9 licenses for now
• free for GarageSale Pro Subscribers
• upgrade for regular users stays at $19.99, but is not on sale yet
This is what you need to use the “remove orphaned images files” option:
Please make sure to have a current backup of your GarageSale library before use the “remove orphaned images files” option.
