I tried all possible steps to free up space on my MacBookk Air (including installing cleanmymac X) but system data still occupy 367GB out of 500GB storage. Any advice on how to free up more space?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5
OK...first thing I'd do is uninstall cleanmymac from your computer. This app actually creates as many issues as it solves. Go to their website to find out how to uninstall it properly, as just dragging the app to the trash won't remove all of it. Here's how to do this: https://www.macworld.com/article/676493/how-to-delete-system-storage-on-mac.html
Next, there's a good MacWorld article on how to reclaim some of that System Data space. You can find it here: https://www.macworld.com/article/676493/how-to-delete-system-storage-on-mac.html
Note that a lot of that System Data is needed, so please be cautious about what you delete.
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much. I did all the steps and that was helpful.
I can see that the problem is with the new Outlook, its library occupies threefold the size of real attachments/emails. I will see what I can do about it.
Many thanks again,
Walaa
Glad I was able to help!
