I have a MacBook Air. I prepared to upgrade to the latest macOS, but it says my memory is low. How can I add more memory space?
Just tidy up your Mac. You can delete files that you won’t use.
Here are the ways to free up more space on a Mac:
- Delete unwated downloads.
- Delete outdated, useless large files, including videos, software installer, audio, and more.
- Delete duplicate files.
- Empty Trash.
If you think it is time-consuming to do this job, use a professional cleaner to help you, such as iBoysoft Cleaner.
This tool helps:
- Analyze Mac storage space, analyze the file, and help you identify whether it can be deleted.
- Uninstall apps and all their associated files.
- Locate large files on your Mac for one-click deletion.
- Find and delete duplicate files and similar photos.
- Scan and delete junk files on your Mac.
- Delete multiple files in one click.
You can also back up your important files to an external drive, manually or use Time Machine. And then, go to macOS Recovery Mode, erase your startup disk and then install the latest macOS. This is called clean install, which is workable for those with less available space.
However, this way is complicated and may cause data loss. If you want to try this, remember to back up files on your Mac before starting.
