News by : (Live Hacker) -

If your Mac's close to running out of space, don't ignore the problem. These machines can run into issues when their storage is 100% full: Updates may struggle to install; the machine may slow down; apps might not work well; and you may notice that some stop backing up their data to the cloud, too. To avoid all of these issues, free up space. It's not as daunting as it seems.

General > Storage. Wait until all the loading signs disappear, and you'll see why your Mac is running out of space. The Recommendations section offers an easy way to start the cleanup process. Here, you can quickly offload unused apps, delete local copies of files stored in iCloud, automatically delete old files from Trash with a click, among other useful functions. 

Once you've followed these steps, you should have some breathing room, but you can take it even further by clicking the i buttons next to each item in the list below the Recommendations section. For instance, you can click the i button next to Applications to see a full list of installed apps sorted by size, and quickly delete apps you don't use. Once you're through with this, you should've reclaimed a lot of space.

Apple Filesystem (APFS) has a neat space-saving feature that lets multiple files share a single copy of data. For instance, if you duplicate a 1GB file on macOS, you'll notice that a copy is created instantly. Try to copy the same file to an external drive and no matter how fast the drive is, it'll take a while to copy it over. This happens because APFS just creates a new file with fresh metadata and doesn't actually create a second copy of the data underneath. This saves you a lot of space.

The explanation is slightly complex, but this app does seem to work. Hyperspace is a free download, and you can also scan your folders without paying. If these scans show the app can save you a significant amount of space, you can then pay to clear those files. The app costs $10 per month, $20 per year, or a one-time purchase of $50.
