Total size of Applications is 100+GB smaller than the stated total
Intel Air 2020
Hi there. I have 66 apps listed. Only three of them stretch to GB, and they total about 6GB. The other 63 are MB and KB. It’s saying I have 116GB of storage used up for these apps.
I’m pretty hopeless at computers so I please bear with me.
I’ve had an ongoing storage problem entirely due to things I can pinpoint. I’ve just spotted this as I’m giving it a good old spring clean in preparation for getting a new one and not wanting to transfer over a lot of drivel. I mention this because
Apple recommended a previous answer to the same issue where the poster had linked to the help page about clearing space. I’ve tried all the tricks listed in the link except compression (which I’m not going to learn how to do just so I can squeeze a few GB when there’s 100+GB unaccounted for).
Thank you for your help!
