MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.7
Question marked as
“System Data” (or “Other”) storage is an amalgam of files that don’t easily fall into the defined categories of “Audio" “Movies” “Photos” “Apps” and “Backups”.
You can’t directly manage the contents of this category. That is done by macOS. The category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
What you can do…
• Empty the Trash in the Dock.
• Empty the trash in the Photos app.
• Delete unused and unneeded application installers from your downloads folder and desktop.
• Reboot your Mac at least weekly.
• Transfer files that you don’t use daily to an external drive and then delete them from the startup drive and empty the trash. Files that take up the most room are movies, images and music.
• If you use Time Machine to backup your Mac, you can force it to delete local snapshots:

• Use Disk Utility to delete APFS snapshots:
