Clearing Space on a Mac:


Mac Storage:

Try clearing internal storage. Do so, though use of the following:


What Space to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

  • Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
  • Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.

Go Here: Manage Cookies and Website Data in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Also...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

D. Clear "Other" Storage:

Try the following, seeing if you need to remove some system data: What is “Other” storage on a Mac, and how can I clean it out? - User Tip
