Hard disk is full with unknown documents
Hello,
I am using MacBook Air with OS Catalina 10.15.04. My system has a 121 GB hard disk, which I know is relatively limited nowadays.
However, the availability of this HD is in my opinion far below 121 GB. At this point I have removed all but 2 documents in the /documents/ folder (I am the only user on this system). Yet the system tells me that it reserves
6.87 GB on apps (seems realistic)
6.16 GB on email (this is not the problem, as email storage is set to auto clean by month)
11.18 GB on system - don't know what it is, but doesn't seem extraordinary big
96.29 GB on "remaining" - This reservation simply forces me to empty my hard disk from any documents at all - I had meanwhile to remove all pictures, all movies, all music, but this reservation does not seem to release itself.
I am attaching a recent EtreCheck report but this one doesn't state any anomalies, apart from the HD being low in capacity.
What is going wrong here and how can I fix it?
Best regards,
Steven
