My problem was cassandra data and I have moved the commit logs to a different partition, though if I didn't have that choice, I would make Cassandra use an external disk. You will reach the root cause pretty quickly with this. Users are my files that I would clean up later, so I will focus on /usr first.Īnd subsequently add subfolders that consume most space. You should see where most space is used, in my case /usr and /Users are each consuming more than 60G. I don't have a ready-to-use script, but it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes: As you can see from the screenshot, the app offers to remove my Unused Disk Images (the remains of DMG installers), broken downloads, old app updates. That will help you to get rid of system storage on Mac. I am writing this post as I solve it for my mac.īasis: Mac OS X is built on unix. Uncheck the box next to any items you don’t want to delete.
I faced the same problem just today and I think it can be resolved rather easily.
