![]() I basically check off pretty much everything in the “System,” “User,” “Internet” and “Logs” categories, have Onyx do it’s thing and then reboot my Mac OS X setup. The part of Onyx I use regularly in situations like this is the “Cleaning” tab. Some hidden parameters of many of Apple’s applications, and more. Miscellaneous tasks of cleaning and system maintenance, to configure The startup disk and the structure of its system files, to run OnyX is a multifunction utility for OS X which you can use to verify The simplest and easiest way to clear up your system when this happens is to run a cleaning tool like Onyx: If space is filling up seemingly randomly, it could be from system caches and logs growing after time. And I am quite positive the Library directory is a part of that “Other” bar/percentage. Dumping all of the “Other” and “Apps” will just render your MacBook Air effectively braindead. That is because even on a clean/virginal system straight out of the box, “Other” and “Apps” will consist of core Mac OS X system items and applications. But for “Other” and “Apps”, this bars/percentages will 100% never be zero or close.And on many systems those “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” bars/percentages might be as low as 0%. For “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” that graph is most likely 100% accurate or close to accurate.Thus the image you show where you see space taken up by “Other”, “Apps”, “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” is really oversimplifying things. ![]() Here is why in a most simple/high-level explanation:Īpple’s goal in Mac OS X and even iOS is to make the system you are using seem as simple as possible.

Read on: You cannot randomly expect to cleanup “Other” and “Apps” data as if those directories are unnecessary. It won’t even if you believe you are careful in your assessment of files in that directory. Sorry to be blunt, but you absolutely, positively need to get over the idea you can manually cleanup-or purge-your systems’s Library directory and it will solve the problem. I'd really appreciate info on how to delete this
