Hi guys I want too update my software but, everytime requieres more space. And for me being a MacBook Air user it’s very hard having only 128 GB of storage. System is already using 60 GB.
Any ideas or suggestions? Cant change computer because it’s a company laptop.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
If you can't clean up enough room, another option would be to setup a USB drive as a bootable installer drive. Then you can throw the installer away from your internal drive for additional space. Boot from the USB drive and run the install and you should be good-to-go.
If you can get past the ads, MacWorld has a walkthrough: https://www.macworld.com/article/3566910/how-to-create-a-bootable-macos-big-sur-installer-drive.html

Your only option is to clear out some unneeded data. You could move some files to an external storage device (potentially moving them back after the install is complete).
You might be able to offload data to iCloud to save space on the device.
You can also try a reboot - the OS maintains a lot of cache files on disk which are cleaned up when the OS reboots. No way of knowing how much (or little) this may be until you try.
Just look at this craziness hahaha, from my 23 GB on apps 12 are from the BIG SUR installer.
i don't know what else to delete im running out on options and i still need to clear 24 more GB
How can I update the software ?it requieres too much space
