Hey LarsOhls,


I understand that your MacBook Pro System storage category is taking up a large amount of storage space. I'll be happy to help out.


Do you use Time Machine local snapshots? If so, this might explain why a large amount of system storage is being taken. Here's some information about Time Machine local snapshots, and how it uses storage space: About Time Machine local snapshots - Apple Support. System storage also includes Mail. Learn more about storage space and how it's categorized here: See used and available storage space on your Mac - Apple Support.


Cheers.
