How to clean up your Mac or Macbook

 

  1. Store in iCloud – This option allows you to transfer all the files you have on your Mac or Macbook, to the iCloud. However, you need to ensure that you have sufficient space on your iCloud Drive in order to accommodate the files on your computer. You get 5GB of free iCloud storage by default, but if you need more, you have to subscribe to a paid plan.
  2. Optimize Storage – This option allows you to remove previously downloaded movies or TV shows from your Apple TV drive. This is useful only if you are a user of the Apple TV platform.
  3. Empty Bin automatically – If you turn on this feature, items that have been in your Bin for more than 30 days, will be permanently deleted on their own. But keep in mind that you will lose files that are in the bin for more than 30 days. Once gone, they cannot be retrieved again.
  4. Reduce Clutter – Here, you can manually browse through the content and choose what you want to delete. The delete operation here is permanent, so be careful what you choose to remove from the system.

Using these options, you can keep the storage on your Mac and Macbook devices optimized and always ready to accommodate files and content.
