I can’t bear my mac storage any more. The system data eats up 53GB on my M2 MacBook Pro whereas the total storage is only 256GB. Which is the best way to clean up my mac and free up system data with simple click?
Be careful with “System Data”. You can’t directly “clean” System Data because it’s primarily made up of cached files and temporary assets that apps quietly store in locations macOS fails to categorize properly.
This is where I slow down.
A large System Data category does not automatically mean something is wrong. It means the files are harder to classify.
My rule is simple: delete what I can identify, leave what I cannot explain, and back up important data before making deeper changes.
Check what’s actually sitting under ~/Library and meanwhile manage your local Time Machine snapshots, which might consume your Mac tens of GB. Certainly, if you can’t identify which data or cache is safe to delete, the 3rd party mac cleaner like iBoysoft Cleaner is the one you can count on.
It uses the AI smart scanner to quickly scan the system junks, large files, duplicate files and similar photos, login items, etc. and show you the AI cleanup suggestions to safely delete caches, trash, unwanted files at one click without system security risks.
