clearn dyld big sur

hello, I updated my macbook pro on big sur and noticed that the dyld folder occupies 10 gigabytes on the dska. When using the "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force command", the message "This tool is deprecated."

Help clean up disk memory

I unfortunately and painfully own a 128gb MBP, so here are some tips I follow:


  • Try running storage management utility to clear up other files.
  • Another place you'd want to look is ~/Library/Caches. There are a bunch of cache folders from apps such as IDEs, text editors and browsers that you can delete.
  • If you use iCloud extensively try clearing out ~/Library/Caches/CloudKit/.
  • If you use Xcode, but don't care about the Simulator delete ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator.
  • Get rid of those downloads. You don't need them.
  • Use iCloud/Google Drive.


Be aware any subfolder in ~/Library/Caches may contain recently cached files. Some of them contain account cache, so don't be surprised if you're required to log in an app again.
