You need to keep 20 GB or more free for the OS to use for things.


Find the biggest things to move or Trash...


OmniDiskSweeper shows you the files on your drive, largest to smallest, and lets you quickly Trash or open them.

Or get an external drive & move your Home folder to the external drive...
