Private folder Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3

Hi guys, I have 40gb of content on following: Private/Var/Folders/nl/8375858/c and my MacBook Pro has an internal of 128gb ssd. Obviously, I would love to get rid off this content but after my research I'm not sure what is best to do. Final destination of the folder is named audiocontentdownload.apple.com which most likely is related to Logic Pro X app. I have already transferred on external HD the Logic Pro audio library but this folder remains with 40GB. What should I do?

Thank you

Very big pkg-files in private-folder I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.1. My hard-drive is 121 GB in total and 35 GB of this is Others when I'm checking the disk-space. I'm running OmniDiskSweeper and there are two big files in the Private folder (private/var/folders/..../com.apple.appstore that are .pkg-files (one 7.8 GB and one 4.2 GB). I know that I should not mess with the private-folder but to me this looks like installer files. Any way to check if these are part of a failed download from Appstore or if there is any safe way to get rid of them to free up diskspace?

20 Gigabyte InstallerSandboxes Folder Hello Everyone, through using DaisyDisk, I found a 20 Gigabyte Folder called "InstallerSandboxes" on my MacBook. It's filled with hidden system files and located under /Library/InstallerSandboxes. It's been growing ever since I first discovered it. I couldn't find anything about it on the web, except that it probably handles AppStore Updates. Does anyone know how to free up disk space in that regard, or just what these files do? Thank you very much, Pablo

Disk spaced is used up but my files are small So, I bought a Mac Mini brand new 2 weeks ago, 256 GB one. And I have transferred all of my files from my old PC to this Mac mini, the total size of all files is about 120 GB, including documents and music etc. But today I receive a notification from my Mac that the disk space is all used up whiles I was downloading some stuff. I checked system information and I was shocked that it's true and I don't know why. This is ridiculous, I'm supposed to have at least 100 GB left out of the 256 GB drive. I checked every folder again and again and I realise there is another folder containing all music files I played. So these files are doubled file but I don't know if I should delete them. Only songs I played are listed here. (but this folder is only 25 GB). I still don't know why my disk space is used up, WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO ME?
