• Why do i got 297.11 gb of system data??? and how do I fix this? Already tried Clean my Mac..

  Download the free and excellent GrandPerspective app and scan your disk, it will show you in a nested grahical form what is taking space. Maybe it's a sleep image, maybe it's on-disk TM backups cos you haven't connected your TM disk in a while, maybe it's some crazy big cache... GP will let you know so you can fix it.

• App LIST!!!

  Grandperspective (Free) GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so-called tree map for visualisation.
