Below, you see that I have a lot of space available on my 2 TB Fusion Drive, a 4 TB backup drive that’s about 2/3 full, and an install disk that’s wide open. Click on the Storage tab, and System Information displays how much storage each attached drive contains. One way to start looking is to click the Apple menu, then select About This Mac. The first thing you’ll want to do is find out how much storage is being used on your Mac, and for what purposes. But what if you have something like an older MacBook Air with very limited storage - 64GB - that is much more difficult to upgrade? In this article, we’ll show some simple ways to free up storage space on your Mac.
For those of you with Macs that can be easily upgraded with a new internal drive from OWC, your solution may be to purchase and install a drive with more capacity. Fast forward a few months or years, and you may start finding that you’re running out of storage. Owning a new Mac is a great feeling - it’s the fastest it’s ever going to be, there are no scratches or dings on the computer, and you have what seems like an unlimited amount of storage space.
