I recently installed Mac big Sur on my 128gb Macbook pro late 2013 - Surprisingly the free space is less than 10GB. after installing essential software like numbers, page and MS office. My space is less than 2 GB free.
Is this normal - what should I do to gain more space on my Mac?
Mac Os Big Sur takes how much space in normal circumstances ?
Thanks,
Pierre C.
