Previously it was 3.34GB and now it is reduced to 1.63GB.

But I still have 1.63GB that cannot be deleted even after following the steps you have mentioned.

Any alternatives?

MacBook Air, running High Sierra 10.13.1

I have this problem too.

I've tried all the steps above to delete the stuff in Library. I've also done the Garage Band install and delete and it has just increased Music Creation to 2.64GB from 1.44GB in manage storage. I'm on a MacBook Air running Os Sierra 10.12.5.

Has anyone found a different solution to this issue?

Hi but I have this problem and there is no any delete!

After deleting the App , still a 939.2 MB there

How can I delete them ?

Thank you

I have the same problem but I don't have any Botton saying erase

section of "About my mac",

About this Mac is listing everything related to Audio as "GarageBand". If you installed Logic Pro X or MainStage all support for these applications will be listed as GarageBand as well, all Apple Loops, including the loops used by iMovie as sound effects, the instrument library with the sounds for the instruments.

Are you using any other audio applications, that may be needing the installed sounds and loops?

Files used by GarageBand or attributed to GarageBand will be in these folders:

/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/

/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/

/Library/Application Support/Logic/

and in the corresponding folders in your user library:

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/

~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/

~/Library/Application Support/Logic/

Also in the folders

~/Music/GarageBand/

~/Music/Logic/

~/Music/MainStage/

And you did delete all GarageBand projects and Logic Projects? All files with the filename extension .band or .logicx ?

Are any projects still stored in iCloud?

If you used GarageBand with iCloud, check the folder

~/Library/Mobile Documents/ for a subfolder called similar to

F3LWYJ7GM7~com~apple~garageband10

or

F3LWYJ7GM7~com~apple~mobilegarageband

Which system version do you have?

The category assignments in About this Mac scan be misleading.

In macOS 10.12.1 you can see exactly which files are in the named category. It will list the files no longer as "GarageBand" but as "Audio Creation Software".

I am seeing for example:

Spotlight may need time to reindex your system drive after you deleted the audio software.

Thank you. Cleared almost 30gb.

You're welcome 🙂

So how to delete it? I have the same problem as well.
