Migration Assistant Broken?
Ok, I have a 2017 Macbook Pro with a 250 GB SSD, with 127GB available so I've use about 123 GB. Now I want to migrate to a Mac Mini M1 with a 250 GB SSD with 214 GB free (using about 36 GB) Both are on MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 so Migration Assistant should work right?
I've done a complete erase and new install on the target Mac Mini M1. On the older Macbook Pro, I've uninstalled things like OneDrive, links to external drives, Synology servers for Time Machine, etc, and rebooted numerous times.
So now, when I try Migration Assistant, the target Mini says my Library on the original Macbook is 883.97 GB (on a 250 GB SSD) so I don't have enough room. WHAT?? Running Info on the Library folder shows 8 GB in use, not 883 GB.
I've read about this, searching suggests this has been a problem for years! What is the fix APPLE.COM
