Hello Everyone! For the record my 13 pro is fully updated as of July 24 2023 and my total phone storage was at 91GB today. My phone is a 512GB model and I use it to make content on social media primarily for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok and I also consume content as well. So today for some...

Hi there, I have a 2015 mac running High sierra 10.13.6. I am trying to free up some space on my mac as I have encountered a 'storage full' warning a couple of times so I am trying to prevent this from occurring again. When I look at 'about this mac', it seems that the system takes up a large...

Is there a way around to speed up the storage system calculate faster? I’ve tried cleaning up files and throwing them away, but still nothing makes the calculating go faster! I think I am giving up on this, unless someone can help...

I'm on a MacBook with macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 I was running out of disk space, so I dug in some old folders, deleted pictures, cleared the trash, etc. My personal data storage dropped from ~30 to 15 GB of document data. ? But as soon as I did that, the System Storage (which was taking...

Hello, For the past month or so, my Macbook has been bombarding me with "running out of space" messages. I have read countless articles and forums, but I still have not solved the issue. System takes up 90 GB of my 120 GB. I tried downloading DaisyDisk and OmniDiskSweeper, but they only show...

So I am trying to figure out why "System" is using 106GB of space on my SSD. I had about 85GB taken up on my old HDD (which is now in my optical bay on 2012 MBP). I installed a new SSD and used Carbon Copy Cloner to migrate over. I am currently using the old HDD for "external" storage of...

Hi all, My Macbook Pro (13” Early 2015, running High Sierra 10.13.6)’s storage is currently taken up by system for almost all storage. I can’t seem to free space by deleting files as the system part only grows then. At the moment system takes up over 110gb of data. I’ve attached a picture of...

Hey Everyone! I'm very new to Mac's and I purchased my Mac Book Pro back in February but I just looked at my system storage for the first time and it's sitting at 143 Gigabytes! That doesn't seem normal to me. What do I need to do in order to fix this?

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro and I have noticed that suddenly I am almost out of storage. When I go to "About This Mac" I can see that my storage is mostly "System" and it's over 153 Gb!! I had this problem on an old laptop and I cannot remember how to fix it. I should say I am NOT a super...

I’ve got an iPhone 5s and with 11.0.3 and suddenly noticed that my phone started telling me it was full. I looked at my apps and noticed System Storage taking up 13GB! I tried offloading apps, clearing caches, etc, but that just increased the size of system storage. I see others with t his...

After upgrading to High Sierra the "System" storage was 260GB (About This Mac -> Storage). I also used DaisyDisk to confirm that there were "200GB of hidden system files" that can't be shown or deleted. Turned to our good friend Google and I found that Time Machine local backups were the...

I am hoping someone can help me. I just upgraded to the 2017 imac from a time machine backup. Before doing so I had around 200 GB's of free space but now my new system is completely maxed @ 1 TB! The system storage shows 289 GB's being used and I do not know what for. I can identify all my other...
