Why is My Mac System Storage More than 100GB?

dude i have 99.81 gigabytes of System storage

Bro, you are a lifesaver. I had 2 screen recordings over one hour. I cleared 78 GB from them.

Thank you very much for this. I just discovered 60Gb plus of space being used by an app I rarely use.

life saveer

You saved me 80+GB :|

Thank you! I had been struggling with no storage space for the longest time. This helped! My after effects cache folder was 100GB+ :O

Thank you very much!!! M application Folder had 178 GB in it!!!! I dont know how but after deleting it, peace was restored! Must be old Programms i didnt delete properly

I have a 250gb Macbook 2019 with Ventura 13 installed, 200gb of which is taken "System Data" wtf Apple? At this point my laptop is not even usable.

Is there any way to prevent the caches from filling up again? I’m currently having to do this every week and only save about 100mb worth of stuff a week

Thank you for your help! Great video.

system file is 12gb, library folder is 30gb. meanwhile the "system" accounts for 80gb on my hard drive. so where is the mystery 40gb coming from? wonder if i'll ever find out -_-

thank U very much, I found out After effects had 150gb of cache

I usually never comment on videos, but I must say you helped me SO much!! I had 140GB of cached data from After Effects that I was easily able to delete from within After Effects. Thank you!!!

Bro, you are a fucking KING!!!

Thank you so much! I've been struggle with more than 500gb of system data for so long, searched through websites to solve but couldn't find where it comes from. It was actually all the caches from adobe after effects. It really freed 500gb of my macbook space now. Your video is clear and really helpful!

this is a cache folder? I had 60gbs of data in messages...

Oh my goodness thank you so much. I was looking all over the place for an explanation and everyone said “clear your cache and your logs,” but whenever I checked there everything is like 15KB at most, I was like “there is no way this is taking up 126.5 GB” I’ve waited a few more minutes and my documents have already jumped up to more than it was saying it took up before

thank you so much for this video <3

Best tutorial Ever😭😭😭

Every update requires me to clear out a bunch stuff for me to update it

how long did it take to calculate bcz iv been waiting an hour

My Go doesn’t have library option ☹️

Can't see Library in Go menu

It was mostly stuff from Steam and other apps I don't even have that waisted my storage, Thanks to that, I now have 40GB of storage available, which isn't too bad.

Thank you :) its so helpful :)

Thank you very much. I never realized there were two library folders. I also learned about the show view options and calculate all sizes.

Mine is over 900 GB XD Not kidding! Thank you so much! This helped me over 9000

My effing Mac has 900gb of system data. Apple, what the f are you effing doing???

Finally.... after years of not knowing! Such a simple explanation. You are a digital garbage hero!!!!

I just saved 400gb! I feel like a corny testimonial in a commercial but this guys video is the real deal. My culprit was Adobe After Effects and every version I used.

Thanks a ton. It is a life saver video. However can you pls tell how to access Others folder as it has some 40 GB data and I am unable to access it.

Thank you man. Life saver and saved my macbook. Thank you

Thank you so helpful!! Freed so much space !

Command J, to show calculate sizes now

Thank you so much for this amazing video. Literally saved me 100s of $$$ in buying an external HDD

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro M1 with 245.1 GB storage and 16 GB RAM. 94.75 GB is filled by the system data. However, my user library takes up 65 GB, my system library takes up 10 GB and my applications take up 46 GB. So what could the 94 gigs of data possibly be if it isn't in any of the main folders?

Thank you!!!
