My MBP has 500GB SSD, but I have about 3 times that much data in iCloud Drive due to Optimize Mac Storage feature. Here, select these files and click the “ x” icon to delete them.įrom the “ Downloads” section you’ll be able to list just the Downloads folder.I got trouble with Optimize Mac Storage recently.
The “ Large Files” section is a great way to find files of couple of GBs you might have forgotten about because they’re saved at some obscure place. This is where you should spend some time. Applicationsįrom the Applications tab, you can view how much space an application is taking and you can delete the apps you’ve never used or never will use (Like iMovie or GarageBand). “ Reduce Clutter” will take you to the Documents view where you can view older files and get rid of them. “ Erase Trash Automatically” will erase Trash every 30 days.
Plus it will only keep recent attachments from the Mail app. “ Optimise Storage” will save you space by automatically deleting all the iTunes movies and TV shows you’ve already seen. I for instance, can get back 12 GB space just by enabling the feature. If you have a lot of photos, this can be a great way to get some space back. They’ll be available when you look for them or when you scroll in the library. It highlights the things you can do to make sure you never run out of space on your Mac.īy enabling “ Store in iCloud“, you’ll be able to upload all the photos and videos to iCloud Photo Library in their original resolution. Follow The Recommendationsįirstly, you’ll see the “Recommendation” tab already selected. You’ll see the familiar tab based bar that shows you the distribution of all your files.Ĭlick on the “ Details” button and a new window will open. How To Access The ToolĬlick the “ Apple” button from the menu bar and select “ About this Mac“.
No need to download third party tool either. And you can do all of it from one window.
But the highlight in Sierra is the new tool for analyzing and managing storage space. I personally found that simply upgrading to macOS Sierra made the mysterious “Other” tab that took up around 20 GB of space, disappear. Once you update to macOS Sierra, life with that 128 GB SSD MacBook is going to be much easier.
