Mac HD capacity

My new Studio with Ventura has 1TB memory. However, when I check to see how much memory is free, I get this data (attached).

Capacity: 999GB

Available: 572GB

Used: 659GB

That does not add up.


I restarted, but get the same data. Any ideas?

That's storage, not memory. Go to the  ➙ menu and elect About This Mac. The first window will show you how much memory you have:



Click on the More Info button and at the bottom of the next window you'll see how much storage you have and how much is used:

Thanks. I'm sorry I used 'memory' instead of storage.

The storage numbers then do not seem to add up, according to the photo I attached.


Forgive me if this is a trivia question. I just noticed that gmail is taking up 102GB storage on my new Studio.

I've done some research, and will do some more, but do you know if there is a simple way to delete 5 years of gmail from my Studio, but it is still safely on Google?

Many thanks.
