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,

free up space, the macOS benifits greatly by having 20% free storage at all times.

Try something like OmniDiskSweeper for a GUI to get a good look at itemized file size and location:
