I've got an M1 laptop on Monterey. I'm running out of HD space.
Does anybody know what the fuck this 612Gb of "System Data" is?
- noo feechurshans_glib
- cache, osx downloadsshapesalad
- Def. some kind of unpurged cache or lots of app data from Steam, Adobe, Google, Gargageband/Logic/FC... etc.evilpeacock
- Hit up your user and sys Library folders listed with "Calculate all sizes" turned on and you'll prob. find what it is.evilpeacock
- Porn disguised as system dataNBQ00
- Yea after a bit of googling it seems most of that was After Effects caches found in the library. Jeesh.Hayzilla
- Buy a cheap and fast 100 gb SSD for your AE cache. All that read/writing of cache will age your Macs HD and increase the chance of it breaking.shapesalad
- Same for Illustrator/PS etc.... set them all to a cheap + fast HD you use only for cache.shapesalad
- Adobe software filling a hard disk up with fucking loads of useless tmp and cache files? My, I am surprised.Nairn
- lol wtf have you donested
- so you hid porn in the AE cache folder and forgot about it :)sted
- delete your hidden folder stuff. at least thats how my macbook got full.milfhunter
- @shape, I have my temp files set away from boot/apps SSD and illy still manages to periodically fill the boot with internal temp working filesNairn
- Using Sketch? https://medium.com/s…grafician
- Was just going to say, purge all your after effects caches. Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cacheslappy
- As already mentioned put your AE (and everything else Adobe, Maxon, etc.) caches on a dedicated (fast) external. It'll take a ton of wear and tear off OS SSD.evilpeacock
- Indeed its cleaning your Casche. Only annoying thing is that you will need to login on every website again.milfhunter

- oh yeah after effects is a cache bastard. purge after every useautoflavour
