Annoying CloudKit Caches eats up 250GB of storage.

Hi guys, Never come across this issue when I switch to a new 2021 MBP 14" M1PRO.(base setup)

Happens quite often when I'm saving my blender file, pops up an error saying not enough space. (where after migration I should have about 250GB still.)

After going through the storage management tab I came across the " Library - Caches - Cloudkit - com.apple.bird" is eating up 251 GB of storage.

I've tried to delete the folder, it pops back right away. and gradually increase it's size till it's full again.

Strangely, if I leave the laptop overnight, sometimes the storage will clean up by itself again.

Yet, it will continue a behavioral loop on daily basis to a point it's not useable for a new MBP.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be or any solutions?

greatly appreciated!!

  • This continues to happen to me as well. Including the overnight cleanup, the deletion and repopulation of the .bird cache, and its constant file size increase. It is rendering my laptop useless. I have talked to tech support three separate times on this. We have deleted it (it comes back by itself instantly). We have reimaged my computer with an existing OS file. And, we completely wiped and installed a fresh OS ... none of those acts help. Eager to know if anyone else has figured something out that works as well!
