How to reduce the size of "CloudKit"

On my mac, the "CloudKit" cache takes up 70g/100g of my storage. Is there any way to reduce the size of it?


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

See used and available storage space on your Mac - Note -


  • Other: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.


Since the Internal Drive is the very small 128 GB Size Drive - one should purchase as reliable External Drive SSD and move as much of your photos, music, videos, podcasts, and iPhone Backups Off the internal drive to the external drive. That and inventory Application that are not used or needed and remove them as per Developers Instructions. Further, empty the Trash.
