@EnderAnts 5 лет назад

If there isn't anything showing up in Terminal, get OmniDiskSweeper. Its a free app that you can download that will show you everything in your Mac that is taking up space. It showed that on my account, there was 980 GB being used, and the reason for it was all of my videos that I have made since 2017 lol. I deleted them when I finished making them, but for some reason they were still available. There's a bunch of folders from each day that I recorded, all distributed in other folders so its a bit tedious to look through everything, but it gets the job done! So if you make RU-vid videos, or import anything into your computer, they are probably still there, even if you have trashed it.
