I think I didn't have my reading glasses on when I posted this here ... in the wrong ng. Please follow up there.

Model: Late 2013 Macbook Pro
OS: OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra

CPU: 2.6 GHz Intel
Mem: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
As you see, my HD is very full.
As it fills up, I have seen a big dropoff in function -- programs load much more slowly, can only have a few programs open at the same time, windows don't open at full size, etc.
I assume this is because of not enough swap space on the HD.
What is the recommended amount of HD space to keep free for good performance?
Thanks!
