You should do nothing. It is not eating up space.

It is just a second mount point for the same storage space.

Macintosh HD taking up too much disk space I have a MacBook Pro running on Mojave 10.14.6 but I can't update it because the Macintosh HD is taking up so much disk space. I've taken everything I can off my computer and it still hasn't helped. So two part question: What is Macintosh HD? I Googled but didn't really understand. What can I do to make this take up less disk space? Thanks in advance!

Incorrect information about free space on internal Macintosh HD I have an iMac 2020 with a MacOS Monterey and a 1TB SSD internal HD Drive. My problem is that the Mac show me bad information about free disk space. I have 4 folders on Macintosh HD: Application 43,58 GB Library 7,71 GB System 27,44 GB Users 316,83 GB Total about 373 GB The computer show me about 215 GB free space. Where is the 400 GB of free space? I found the Volumes folder in the System folder, and there is, among others, a Macintosh HD file that shows me 783,46 GB. However, the System folder (parent folder) show me only 15 GB. Someone will advise me please? Thanks.

My Mac is running out of space. Of the 250 GB, 105GB are listed in grey as 'other'. What can be using up all this storage space?? I don't know how to find out, or if it uncludes things ai don't need and can delete or move out of the internal HD. ?? My Mac is running out of space.
