How to Clear Storage on macOS

How to Clear Storage on macOS

Is your Mac slowing down or showing the dreaded “Your disk is almost full” warning?

You’re not alone. Over time, macOS quietly fills up with cache files, temporary data, and system junk — even if you don’t install much. This clutter can take up several gigabytes of valuable space, making your Mac run slower and giving you storage headaches.


✅ Step 1: Open Terminal

  1. Press Command () + Space to open Spotlight Search
  2. Type Terminal and hit Return

✅ Step 2: Paste This Command

Copy the following line and paste it into Terminal, then press Return:

Terminal
Loading...


What does this command do?
It safely removes all user cache files — those behind-the-scenes temporary files created by apps and the system that you don’t need. This is one of the easiest ways to clear Mac storage without risk.


🎉 That’s It — Storage Cleared!

No need for complicated tools or apps. With just one simple command, you’ve:

  • Freed up valuable disk space
  • Removed hidden system junk
  • Made your Mac run smoother

💡 Tip: Repeat this once a month to keep your macOS fast and clean.
