I had booted into Recovery mode ( Command and R) on restart, it goes into the recovery screen, select disk utility, and then perform a scan on your default Disk( in most cases Macintosh HD) and perform a scan. After that I rebooted, and logged in n normally- reran the storage check you are having trouble with, and it finished in about 2 minutes. Hope that helps😉

UPDATE: I manually removed Garage Band


  • Macintosh HD/Applications/GarageBand.app (1.16GB)
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand (995MB)
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Logic (880MB)
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops (up to 10GB)*

and it solved the issue on this machine, I don't use Garage Band so not an issue for me to remove.
