This video was a lifesaver! Just cleared over 200gb of storage, I guess it was all screen recordings!

@josuajosua7586 5 месяцев назад

I'M SO DAMN HAPPY TO FIND THIS VIDEO! CACHES IN MY MAC WAS OVER 300 GB, I wondered for almost a year why I have so much shit in my mac and couldn't find any answer or solution until I watch this. THANK YOU 💙

@JuliaUtset 2 месяца назад

Saved my life, cleared a lot of storage in 5min and all running properly atm, thanks a lot!!!

@nathaliealkazzi 2 месяца назад

I couldn't understand why I had no storage left even tho I kept removing more than 60gb worth of files from my laptop but now I was able to remove 290GB !!!! This video just saved my life thank you so much

@Eric-qi9us 4 месяца назад

fortunately mine was really small so I didn't really need to clean up but good to know about this and definitely will try this out when it gets bigger in the future. Excellent video!

@jalupratama6405 5 месяцев назад

so many video that i watched about this problem. today i got my 270gb system data and i tried to search the solution until i found your video, Thanks a lot u just saved my storage💜

@eclbirkeland 4 месяца назад

This is amazing! I found that I have 250 GB of old After Effects versions still hanging around (while the cache for my current version of Ae, which I don’t use as much anymore, is 1.5 MB). Thank you! ❤

@Shrekamind-zs6gl 3 дня назад

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I've had full storage for months, going to various places to try and fix this! Went to this video and found out I had over 300GB of screen recordings. Thank you!!

@calahad 4 месяца назад

Finally, someone! I've spent months on and off looking for a solution to this but nothing worked. This did the trick. My Adobe folder in the cache was 90 GB, which got freed up.

@smallduck1001001 4 месяца назад

On most Apple US keyboards, going back to before the Mac, the backtick (unshifted) and tilde (shifted) key has been to the immediate left of the "1" key. There have been some exceptions where the Esc key took that spot beside the "1" instead, and the backtick/tilde key was either somewhere to the left of the space bar (weird!) or between the quote key and a narrower return key (the weirdest keyboards had the backtick/tilde key and the backslash/vertical bar key on either side of the space bar).

@Fubeman 6 месяцев назад

Great video. Thanks! BTW, at 2:42, that symbol is called a Tilde. It is used in math symbols, programming as well as in Latin and Spanish languages, often used with the "eñe" letter (ñ).

@AMIRBENDABI 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for this info, Fubeman! I didn't know it's used in programming and math.

@JayKerr Месяц назад

Good video but how hard is it to look up the tilde character on your keyboard and spell "directory" instead of "trajectory"? When you are asking people to delete system info it helps to build trust with your audience by giving them accurate information.

@bojankocev Месяц назад

@mitchellsmith4601 4 месяца назад

The ~ (it’s called a tilde) denotes the user’s home folder, so ~/Library is the user’s home library, while /Library is the Mac’s Library folder, and is used by all users. There’s also /System/Library but it’s read-only for users, and as everything in System is now cryptographically signed by Apple, I suspect any modifications to anything in System will result in your Mac warning you on the next reboot that you need to reinstall macOS. You might be able to test this by logging-in as root in Terminal and renaming or deleting a folder inside System.

More simplest way to reach to "Library" is, Open Finder Then at the top right bar click on "GO" then hold "OPTION" key. thats it, LIBRARY will appear there, then just go to cache and delete. ❤
