Storage Management says GarageBand instruments and lessons are using 11.16 GB but there is nothing there

System Preferences says 11.16 GB are being used by GarageBand instruments and lessons


However, I don't see 11.16 GB at "Home > Music", only 1.1 GB


This is all that comes up when I search "GarageBand" on "This Mac"


Also, I do not even have GarageBand installed on the computer


My goal is to remove everything, I need to free up space and no longer want any GarageBand or Logic or Music of any kind related files on the computer.

Hi, probably you have some instruments and lessons downloaded on your Mac regardless of that you don't have GarageBand on your Mac, you can try this following steps to helping you solve the problem:


The GarageBands lessons and instruments are installed in this folder:

/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/


Open the folder Library at the top level of your System drive, then the folder "Application Support", then "GarageBand".


Move this folder to the Trash, if it exists.


There may be a similar folder in the Library folder in your Home folder. Remove that as well, if it exists.

~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/


Hope this answer will help you
