Great video, useful! Simple and clear, step by step instructions, easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Cleared over 100GB in my app support folder 🙏
Awesome! I’m happy in worked for you 👍
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I highly recommend your channel on this. Thanks!
This was valuable to not only clean up Mac, but the short cut keys was great as well.
Thank you!! Clearing my caches freed about 25+ GB!!🔥🔥
Thank you so much for the video. It helped me.
Thankyou so much for these tips. My MacBook Pro is sorted now. I was getting frustrated trying to figure out where all my storage had gone. I gave up with the Apple support in the end and searched the problem myself on TH-cam. Big cheers
I had so much struggles because something on my laptop was taking up a whole lot of space. Thanks to you I found it and I deleted one folder taking up 360GB. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much. This video did wonders for me. Wiped over 10gb from system data, and 25gb rom other files
I went through so many other videos and web pages trying to figure out what to do since I had 150 GB of system data on my computer. No website or other videos helped until yours, as it turns out I had a total of 120 GB of cache files. Thank you so so much I can finally use Photoshop again
Hello! This video was really helpful for me as to I was not able to find "manage" options mentioned in a lot of videos. The steps were easy to follow. Thank you.🙏
I’m really happy you find the video useful 👍 thank you for your positive comment 🙏👨🏼💻
Sending lots of love Very informative knowledgeable content ❤
Very helpful. I went from 30 GB available storage to over 300 GB following your instructions. Thanks a million!
I’m really happy to hear that 👍 it’s great my video helped you clear some storage 💻
Thank you so much for this! It was exactly what I needed!
Thank you for your positive comment, I appreciate it 🙏
Dude this vid is a lifesaver, thank u for sharing all this with the web
Very helpful video. I seem to have a folder labeled Group Containers and in it there is 70 GB devoted to OneDrive alone... Is this Group Containers folder something that can be deleted?
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE HEAVEN SENT
I want to give you 10 stars if I could.
I can not believe it. I have listened to several other you tube presentations on this subject and reduced some of my stored.
No one mentioned the system data library. It was using 75% of my storage.
Even an apple support person did not take me there when I talked with them.
From your video I went there and found in “Screen Recording” 3 recordings I did not know I created using my “Screenshot” app. A total of 114 GB.
I did not need them and trashed them. Now my system library is down to 16% of my storage.
Thank you so much!
awesome content very helpful thank you
Extremely helpful.
thank you for the consice video. Turns out there was over 40 GB in my steam cache and over 30 GB in my after effects cach. This helped me a lot!
Thank you so much for this video. This is really the best video how to clean a space on a Mac.
Man, thank u so much! You literally saved me 2 years of my life!

Thanks a lot for the video, it was very very helpful. I was worried that I may need to buy more storage but thanks to you I saved my money. I cleared a lot of storage. Thank you!
the best storage reduction hack. literally got my space back. 3gb available to 155gb available. splendid. Thank you so much!!!!
Such a great video! Thank you! I found a 300GB Screen Recording saved in my Library. Deleted that along with the Google Chrome cache, did a restart and now I'm stoked that my storage is back to normal. Also, learned how to navigate around Finder much better.
It was really helpful. Thankyou man ❤

Thank you so much for helping me clean off my MacBook Air. It was running sooo slow after 3 years. I'll save this video so that I can stay on top of keeping my Mac clean all of the time. Thank you again! Great video!
Thank you very much for your positive comment 🙏 I’m really happy that you find it useful and it helped you clean your Mac storage. 👨🏼💻
@@OneByteAcademyOfficial Yes, my Mac hasn't been this clean since the day I received it new!
Thanks!!!
i just bought my first macbook and have been comparing some cleaning apps to decide on what to get (though i likely don’t need it yet 😂). thank god i saw your video before purchasing any of those! as a newbie in the mac world, i truly appreciate your content! speaking of, can you also do one featuring the apps you yourself use? probably for productivity, security (like vpn if you use), additional optimization, and other apps you deem helpful. hope you can consider it hehe looking forward to your next uploads 😄
Hello, I am really happy I saved you some trouble with these apps. That's great you enjoy the content and I will do my best to bring some useful tips in the next videos as well. I will also consider making video about apps I like to use, once I have some more time :) Thank you for your positive comment and wish you a great day! 👨🏼💻🙏
Very helpful! Question - recently backed up my iphone to my macbook pro. I see in the Library Modem Scripts folder a lot of files, most have nothing to do with my modem. After the iphone backup, it added a script for Sprint PCS Vision - a phone i had 10 years ago. Perhaps i had a photo taken on that phone that was included in the back-up, that's the only reason I can think of why a super old modem script was added. Can any old moden script in that folder be deleted?
Thanks a lot it really helped me to improve my HD size. I have cleared more than 20GB on my HD
That is the best video ever on this topic!
Thank you so much 🙏 I’m really happy you like that 👍
Very helpful
This is a brilliant video….perfect
Thank you so much for your positive comment 🙏💻
Thanks for an indepth video about this!! Can you do another video about removing some Adobe files? I have the entire adobe creative cloud and I've noticed a lot of random files associated with it on my computer, but I have no clue what to delete and what to keep (I'm scared to touch anything lol) - would really appreciate it! Thank you!
Thank you very much
Thank you so much
Thank you, it worked great. Greetings and happy holidays from Croatia!
I am glad to hear that 👍 I wish you a Happy New Year!
Great job
Thanks that was actually pretty good
I’m really happy to hear that 👍👨🏼💻
Thanks 🙏🏼
thanks
Pretty helpful video 👍
What application would you recommend to uninstall other programs on MacOS easily & completely?
Also how to keep installed apps updated on regular basis?
Thx from Munich 😉
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback 🙏 it’s hard to say what apps you need, I have maybe 5 apps in total installed on my Mac (except MacOS apps which you can’t remove). If you name me some of your applications I might be able to tell you if it’s useful or not.
Most of the apps are automatically updated though App Store, and even those 3rd party apps like VLC player are offering updates from time to time so installing these updates is kind of happening alone on the background 💻
excellent. subscribed.cleared 3gb
wow... i had WOW classic caches on my computer from 2019. it displayed as not using any space, but I deleted it anyway, got back 65GB of space. thanks!
Thanks
Great video!!!! I have lots of storage in my email and whatsapp, any suggestions? thanks!
Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome! 👍👨🏼💻
i watched the entire video and i freed up more than half of my 128gb SSD thank you so much
Thank you sir
You are very welcome 🙏 I hope it will help you clean up your storage 💻
best video ever
You made a great and useful video. And you have a really interesting voice a mix of indian and austrian sound and a bit like Arnold. Very original and very useful video
Mate this was the best - I just had my cloud fill my cache with 128gb of shit from my old Mac to my brand new Mac 1 day old and this just saved me massively!!!
Awesome! I’m really happy it helped 👍👨🏼💻
SIR! Thank you so much for letting me know about this "Library" thing!
Actually I'm like; "WTH bro? Just one year I used this laptop but it already run out of space?" And thanks to your video, I realize; the screen recording part actually taking up to 120GB alone. I think I just accidentally turn it on, and yeah this happened 🤣🤣
By the way, just, thank you sir. Besides you help me to realize about the Screen recording thing, your video is also help me save like 10GB 😊
Hii im trying to download and install big sur on my mac. Tryed deleting some files and it worked at first but then as i deleted it filled up again? It has 70G full and tells me it doesnt have space but i have deleted everything i could? :(
thank you
You are very welcome 🙏 I’m happy you find it useful
Thank you so much! I deleted 792 Gigs!
I got rid of almost 50GB of rubbish on my Mac. Thanks a lot man
If the cache will grow like that, won't it affect ssd?
It is even bigger problem than memory swapping.
CleanMyMac did save my Mac
Hi, great video. In my user library folder there is a folder called "Group Containers" taking up 22gb. Can you delete this? I have about 120gb of System Data on my harddrive, even after following all of your tips :/
I am happy that you like the video 🙏 You should not delete anything from a folder "Group Containers". Basically you should not touch most of the folders in system library. I am actually working on a video about macOS folders you should never touch which will be released in few weeks. Hopefully you will like that too. System is normally taking around 30 Gb but having it showing around 100Gb can have many reasons. But most of the time it's just miscalculating some of your personal files and it will get fixed itself.
hey man tks a lot! I have just done what you said and deleted +/-- 10gbs of my files however my system date passed from 51gbs to 171gbs... is it a bug or viruq in my macbook 12? tks in advance!
You are very welcome 🙏 I’m happy it helped. Don’t worry about the system data it will need to categorise the files to show correct numbers.
Yes, technically you can do all of this and clean your Mac this way. However, the ease of use that you'll get coming from using these programs instead of spending hours and hours trying to fiddle with folders, "is it safe to delete or not" scenario and whatnot.
I personally used Clean My Mac and its basically a must to install on every mac.
very clear instruction . i have 256 gb free on my base m1 mac.
I’m glad you like it 🙏 my first Mac was 128 GB and it was always a struggle with space.
Need more storage space 🙏😢
Super helpful. Clear 200 GB of System Date by going to the cache folder and delete all my Adobe junk!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback 🙏 I’m happy my video helped you 👍👨🏼💻
I have cleared 175 Gb from my mac, turns out It was a video that was THREE days long that was occuping so much space.
I’m sure this was helpful for some people but I have a Mac lab at my school that I run myself. The Mac desktops have 1T of storage and almost NONE used. But the OS system runs so slow. The system is slow, the applications are slow, even loading websites is slow with excellent connections. So I just don’t think this salved my issue.
Also you should delete orphaned apps from the container. Or at least that’s what I’ve read elsewhere.
can i delete "group containers" folder in library? is it necessary?
Hello, in general you should not be deleting anything from the ,,containers” folder. But you can use the technique I mentioned in the video. Simply copy the folder somewhere else as a backup and delete it from the library. You can keep it there for couple of days to see it everything works fine and if you don’t see any issues you can delete it afterwards 👍
Can you help me, i have almost 200GB taken by "other volumes in container" I only have 250GB. I have been trying to update my computer and i cannot because i have no space.
Try to sort the folders by size as I mentioned in the video and figure out which folder is really taking the most. And see to what apps it’s conected. Than reinstalling the app should help. In general you should not be deleting anything from the containers but if you will not find any other way you will have to remove large files from there or backup your data and reinstall the whole Mac. It’s quite easy to do 👍
thank you i just cleared up 500gb of cache files from Adobe after effects that i had no idea existed LOL
bro I have 190gb if system data and my whole storage is only 246gb
I've done all of this but theres still 52gb of Other in my Mac. I give up
Don't look anywhere else, that's the vidéo you need guys !!!!!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback 👍👨🏼💻
My container folder is of 18GB and 16GB out of which is consumed by just Safari folder inside container
What Safari is storing 16GB of?
Safari might be storing some cached files from websites you have visited, but 16gb is really a lot. You can try to move the large files away from the folder and if it will not influence the functionality you might be able to delete it. 👨🏼💻
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much! 👻 I cleared 70gb of other storage that turned out to be all the photos automatically downloaded from iCloud. I never use the photos app on the computer 😂
I have no apps or files and any documents, the system data just doesn't reduce. it deleted caches and it only added more to my storage
Thanks Bro I killed 150GB of waste from my macbook
Man, thanks! My system data from 140GB to 30GB, ALL thing I check it is TRASH!!!!!! again thank you!
its not working bro I deleted pics n videos n still showing u have only 45 gb left of 256 gb
I have done everything mentioned in this video and I still have 14GB of SYSTEM DATA
That’s a reasonable amount.
I Cleared up 130 GB of system data I found 2 Screen recording of my desktop that I forgot to stop
Won't CleanMyMacX do all that?
Definitely not all of that. But yes it can do the basic clean up faster. The point of this video is to show you that everything can be done for free. Not paying for the licence, but it doesn’t mean that CleanMyMac is a bad program. I actually have link for that in the description of this video. (BTW There will be a good sale on Black Friday so you can use the link if you want to buy that)
LoL If your mac is slowing down . nice roast !
I find these advertisements so annoying 😂
@@OneByteAcademyOfficial Best Video out there, saved my slow Mac :)
I cleared 10GB it was 10GB because some duplicates of among us😂.
I dont know why my user name is weird,
Thanks bro, you just gave my macbook 45 GBs of extra space 🫡🫡🫡
