Hi Mo_issam,


The macOS category only contains files that are necessary to run macOS (the operating system). This category cannot be reduced or deleted.


However, you can reduce the System/Other category by following the recommendations in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250002781
