Hello, I’m running macOS 10.12 and under storage management it says that "GarageBand instruments and lessons are using 1,02 GB. You can manage these files using GarageBand." I don’t even have GarageBand installed, so how can I completely get rid of it?
iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014), Other OS, macOS 10.12
Following these instructions I found the used space (74 GB in my case) did not get freed.
I noticed however that the folders did not get deleted despite several attempts at deleting it in Finder.
Instead I used terminal and typed
sudo rm -fR /Applications/GarageBand.app
sudo rm -fR /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
sudo rm -fR /Library/Application Support/Logic/
sudo rm -fR /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
It asks for your admin password each time and correctly deletes the folders. (you may find GarageBand.app deletes properly using Finder)
This is really frustrating. I uninstalled Garageband last year, including all the library files mentioned in the TekRevue article, but the system report still shows 46Gb of Garageband files.
A search reveals that there are no '.band' files, the application isn't in the applications folder, there is no 'Garageband' folder in Library/Applications support, and no relevant files in Library/Audio.
Any clues?
Same question here. None of the files mentioned above are on my computer anymore. Still, I've got around 1GB of stuff used by GarageBand.
Where else does it save files? This is annoying. And why isn't it completely removed when using the Uninstall option?
/Library/Application Support/Logic/
This made all the difference to me. Now GarageBand doesn't show up in System Report anymore.
Why is Logic installed along with GarageBand anyway? I don't use Logic Pro.
Of course it's hard to find what you want when you're not looking where you should. Nobody would look for Logic when they want to delete GarageBand.
Logic fail.
I've been having the same issue, BUT I've already deleted the application GarageBand and it continues say
I wanted to know if anyone could help me understand what i did wrong
Please and Thank you.
As I said above:
/Library/Application Support/Logic/
Thank you
For some reason App Cleaner did not get everything, so I found the problem and removed in manually /Library/Audio/Apple Loops. Now down to 12KB
I've followed all suggestions here, and About This Mac still reports 1.02 GB devoted to Garage Band lessons and instruments. Suggestions?
i still have about 462 mb
none of the files listed exist other than apple loops but its in a folder marked for final cut pro.
any other ideas how to get rid of this?
please elaborate on moving the folder out of there please
If you don't have FCP, then just delete the folder. The resources aren't needed. But if you do use FCP, then don't stress about the space being used. It's part of your app.
i've tried for an hour to resolve this and your post was the only one that worked completely.
