On Mac OS Monterey I have this message that keeps on popping up every few minutes even when I close it. I have 10GB left and it is sufficient. I don’t want to be bothered every 3 minutes by this annoying message.
Hey, pal. Sometimes, you think the space left on your Mac is enough for it to run but the truth is different from your idea, so why not try to clean your Mac for more available space? After all, too little space damages the SSD and shortens the Mac’s span.
You can try the following fixes to remove useless files from your Mac to release Macintosh HD space:
Fix 1: Disable “Optimize Mac Storage” in iCloud:
-
Open System Preferences > Apple ID.
-
Select iCloud and uncheck “Optimize Mac Storage”.
Fix 2: Empty Trash: Open Trash and click Empty in the upper right corner.
Fix 3: Remove caches:
-
Open Finder > Go > Go to Folder.
-
Search ~/Library/Caches.
-
Move app caches to Trash.
Fix 4: Remove purgeable storage using Terminal:
-
Open Terminal.
-
Enter for d in $(tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates | grep “-”); do sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $d; done to delete all local backup snapshots.
