Guides to disk space on a Mac

Where the space went, and how to get it back. Each guide starts with what's already on your Mac and free, then shows what a treemap adds.

Storage settings, the Finder, the Terminal and a treemap: what each shows, and which to use when the disk is nearly full.

The gray bar in Storage settings that won't say what it is. What goes in it, and how to find the part you can remove.

A Finder search, the Large Files list, one Terminal command, and why the biggest folder often beats the biggest file.

See the whole disk in seconds.

Scanning and the full map are free, with no time limit.
