I bought my M2 MacBook Air in December 2022, and now, in October 2024, it's showing that I have no storage left. I have the 256GB, 8GB RAM model. My daily activities are fairly simple—primarily using Safari and Chrome for reading papers and light graphic design in Affinity Designer. However, in just a few months, my Mac has accumulated 170GB of data under "Other Users and Shared," "macOS," and "System."
170GB out of 245GB is absurd—can anyone help me clear this up?
This is not a question really for this forum which is about helping developers to develop their apps.
You'd better post on Apple support : https://discussions.apple.com/welcome
But it is known that System uses a significant storage.
