Clear System Data Storage on Your Mac - macOS Sonoma

I have 1 TB I tried all i cleaned mt cash less of 2GB still 1TB in my system data!!!

On most Apple US keyboards, going back to before the Mac, the backtick (unshifted) and tilde (shifted) key has been to the immediate left of the "1" key.

There have been some exceptions where the Esc key took that spot beside the "1" instead, and the backtick/tilde key was either somewhere to the left of the space bar (weird!) or between the quote key and a narrower return key (the weirdest keyboards had the backtick/tilde key and the backslash/vertical bar key on either side of the space bar).

Double reboot did it for me…

goated🙏

thanks alot

hi im wondering how to reduce other in storage? i already reduced the system data. thankyou

Thank uuu!!!! This workeed! I also had the exact same problem with Adobe, and it felt reassuring that it was your case too. :))

Thanks so much, my Adobe was relatively small however i found x2 Adobe Aero folders totalling 80GB of textures and mesh from 3D model use. All gone now thanks.

my adobe isnt taking any space but i still have 82gb of system data just sitting there ... idk what to do :(

it’s screen recording for me! more than 160 GB. thank you so much for

There is no developer section in my mac. How can I activate it?

Sir, you are an enlightened human being. I had over 600 gigs ONLY in Adobe. THANK YOU!!

thanks a lot

thank you so much, no more laggy when I open photoshop, you're livesaver

so many video that i watched about this problem. today i got my 270gb system data and i tried to search the solution until i found your video, Thanks a lot u just saved my storage💜

Thank you

my system data is 60 GB but catches file is 2 GB

thank you!

I have 103GB System Data and I checked the Library Cache data as you explained its totally 2GB and 1 GB of this is Spotify Cache... I am wondering where is the remaining 100GB excess System Data coming from?

So my caches are only 2.2 GB but my system data is over 500 GB what do you suggest next…

THANK YOU! The only video that worked for FREE

the culprit was screen recordings. when I deleted that shit my storage went from only 2.6mb space left to 180.48gb!! I gotta say I girl is gonna b crying hard after that them photos from when I was barley born and microscopic is gonna hurt n ima b missing em!!



Edit: idc if I'm not supposed to delete it. the 1 with most storage then its gone hun!!

I'M SO DAMN HAPPY TO FIND THIS VIDEO! CACHES IN MY MAC WAS OVER 300 GB, I wondered for almost a year why I have so much shit in my mac and couldn't find any answer or solution until I watch this. THANK YOU 💙

u save my life !!!! 400gb of ADOBE caches junk!

Thank you!!!

Mine isn’t my cache

baraakallahu fikum.. it works alhamdulillah masya Allah

that sign is a tilde.

Im doing every step but I can't find that caches folder that hhholds a bunch of gb, I dont know what to do

hey i am trying to type ～/library but it wont showing anything.. in my mac sonoma

fucking legend thx

This video was a lifesaver! Just cleared over 200gb of storage, I guess it was all screen recordings!

Great video, another culprit is the Xcode "DerivedData" folder, delete the data in that and you'll save a lot of space.

I love u

you mention its one stop video. But you spend 8 min only to tell how to delete adobe cache, which doesn't work for me.

Shameless click bait!

Awesome. It is the actual solution I wanted. Thanks for this video.

This is what I've been looking for! I've been trying to figure this out for years... THANK YOU

Hello Amir I am too having the same problem I use a base 256 gb Macbook Air m2 and my system data is almost 80 gb but my cache folder is just 2 gb... I don't use any kind of editing softwares in my Mac then what is taking up that space? Can u provide any more solutions

Hi Amir, in my case, it didn't work. I have 130 GB of system data but if I go to the cache folder it is only 1.53GB. Not sure what is eating up the rest of the spaces in my MacBook.

This i s my biggest gripe with MacOS and its been that way for years ... the OS hogs memory and prevents you from doing simple tasks like moving files to a network connected drive. For example, I have 150GB available space, yet I cannot move an 18GB file .. the OS compalains that I need another 1.75GB of "Free" space ... apparently there is a difference between "Available" which shows up in the Storage bar and "Free" space which is being temporarily used by the OS (like Timemachine snapshots) that dont appear in the Storage bar!! Many times I end up back in the Terminal using Rsync!

Thanks to your video I deleted 400GB of System Data! Thank you so much!

~ is called Tilda

i have 47 gb system data and it deleted nothing but 1gb idk how

Be careful, caches also holds important system files that are not to be deleted, and will not regenerate. You will have to restore OS. Safely delete individual folders based on the app you suspect is taking up space

Dear, I wonder how you dare to make tech video about Mac without even knowing that you can press “option” in “finder” to go directly to (user library) instead of “go to command line” and then “~\library”!?

That sign is called "tilde"
