MacBook doesn't have enough space to install BigSur even with Optimize Storage checked with iCloud (1.5TB free)
I have 1.5 TB of free storage on my iCloud and I have the "Optimize Mac Storage" option in my iCloud in system preferences checked on my MacBook, but my MacBook which has 512 GB SSD is still full and I don't have enough space to download and install the new MacOS, Big Sur. I can't even edit videos. What am I supposed to do? I also have my documents folder completely synced with my iCloud and my photos app, I thought by checking "Optimize Mac Storage" with all that would free considerable space on my MacBook Pro but...nope! Need desperate help!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
