Edit Mount Point ?

I have an APFS volume named DAILY 2. When I get info on it, the name and extension section says

DAILY 2 1. Similarly, the mount point for this volume in disk utility is /Volumes/DAILY 2 1.

I want to get rid of all that is after the 2 (space and 1). Don't know how it got there. Pics enclosed... OS 12.0.1

Thank you

Other volume in AFPS Startup Snapshot is taking up 400+gb that i cannot use Hi, I have a APFS SnapShot volume that has a 'Other Volume' which is 431.67GB! (See 3rd screenshot). It looks like it's the same size as the data in the 4th screenshot. How can I free up this Other Volume???? I had 2 partitions originally, Partition 1 was 500gb that I used with the OS/documents/downloads etc, and the other Partition 2 was completely empty. I then selected the 2nd empty Partition and pressed '-' to delete the partition so I could merge the 2 partitions together but now I have this huge mess of a 'Other Volume' that is not letting me do anything. Please help.

APFS disks and optimization... unnecessary? We used to use DiskWarrior and the like to optimize/rebuild directories on our Mac OS Extended volumes for years. Then Apple moved to APFS. It's been years now and it looks like those utilities will eventually be relics of the past. I see a lot of stuff online about why those old tools can't be used to optimize directories on APFS but nothing about whether it's even required with APFS volumes. Does Disk Utility optimize and rebuild APFS directories? Do APFS directories even require optimization? I have a few Mac OS Extended volumes remaining form the "old days" and if APFS is that dependable and those tools are no longer required I will convert those volumes to APFS and remove those tools.

Unmount it, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Volumes/ as the path, and move the item with that name out.

Drag the DAILY 2 item to the desktop or Trash. You may be asked for your password.

Will I lose the DAILY 2 volume by doing this?
