When your Mac’s storage is almost full, it slows down and updates fail.

1. See what’s using space

System Settings > General > Storage.

2. Empty the Bin

Files in the Bin still use space.

3. Store in iCloud

Turn on Store in iCloud for Desktop, Documents and Photos.

4. Remove large files

Sort the Documents section by size and delete what you don’t need.

5. Clean the Downloads folder

Old installers (.dmg files) take up space.

6. Delete unused apps

Drag unused apps from Applications to the Bin.
