Macbook storage?

knightstyle · 2022-01-17 11:34:06

I am trying to free up some space on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) I can see 88Gb in documents but cannot find what is taking up all that space. When I look in documents the biggest file is 226kb and lots of smaller ones.

MacOS is unix based so its "terminal" and the commands are the same as they would be in unix... unfortunately was never a big user of unix and so my knowledge is highly limited of Terminal as just dont need to go into it often.

With Finder (equivalent of Windows Explorer) you can filter for files/folders over user defined sizes which would be my route of doing it... you do need to turn on folder sizes in the Options though.
