System data

I have a new Studio, with Ventura 13.1

I noticed, and just deleted, about 100GB from my Mail account. All good.

Mail not takes up only 450mb.


BUTNOW, my SYSTEM DATA storage data has jumped to 167GB.


I suspect that two events are related.


How can I safely lower SYSTEM DATA storage?

  • Restart your system frequently
  • Force Time Machine to delete Local Snapshots by turning off Time Machine, waiting until it has finished deleting local Snapshots and then turning Time Machine back on.
