How to remove “other” storage in Mac?


I wonder how to get rid of this space. The ratio is crazy because I don't use softwares that much, and this other space takes >90GB.

Had the same problem plague me for years. This solution has been a life changer for me.

I use OmniDiskSweeper (not affiliated). In terminal, run the command:

sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper

Give it a moment then click through the options and you'll eventually be able to locate the issue. For me, it's typically some cache for an Adobe product thats eating up a monster amount of space.

Hope this works for you!
