TIP
Wizards are designed to be easy to understand and to use. Each
wizard screen tells you what you need to know and the required
information. If you want to know more about a wizard, click Help.
By default, SpaceMaker and Remove wizards create backup copies of files
before they are deleted. Although you can turn off backup creation when
you run the wizard, it is a good idea to make backups. Later, when you are
sure that you do not want to undo any actions, you can delete the backup
copy.
