Change the file size to MB, and add 100 into the box next to it. The next dropdown box to choose is ‘Is Greater Than’. Choose ‘Other’, then scroll until you see File Size. This opens a new Find window, where you click on the drop-down beside ‘Kind’. Go to your Home folder (shift-command-H), and press Command-F. Go to your Downloads folder and select the contents or any other files you don’t need anymore.
If you need that space fast, here’s what you can do: Much of the clutter is lurking underneath, such as language files, duplicate files, attachments, and temporary files. The obvious way is to empty your trash cans, then go hunting and deleting big files or apps that you’ve downloaded but no longer use, but those things are just the tip of the iceberg. Luckily, there are several simple ways to clean up your Mac, reclaim that precious drive space, and ultimately free up Mac storage.
Worse still, if you are installing an OS update like Big Sur you may find you don’t have enough free space to do so.
Hard drives quickly seem to fill up with junk that starts to slow everything down, until your once-fast Mac is crawling along.
No matter how fast technology develops, there’s one thing that we’ll probably never be able to get enough of – storage space on our Macs!
