Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My 2017 Macbook pro got really slow recently, and I was trying to delete some files.
I clicked the apple logo at top left -> About This Mac -> Storage -> Manage...
And I see that I have 36.94 GB of document related files, but the files it shows when I click it are clearly less than 36.94 GB. Is there a way to show the hidden files and clean up some of the junks?
Thanks!

Yes.but see if you can sort/files based on size. Should be in finder preferences , then view. Otherwise here’s how to do that...

( should work in el capitan as well)
could try cMd+ Shift+fn + . On the numeric keypad

Using
CMD + SHIFT + .
revealed all the hidden files! Thanks!
On the US keyboard, I remember that as Command-Shift->
for some reason that seems more mnemonic to me, as the greater than sign somehow implies "reveal" to me.
