Is your Mac showing “Your disk is almost full”?

Low storage is a common issue — especially on Macs with smaller SSDs — and much of it is taken up by hidden caches, logs, and unused system files.

You don’t need a third-party cleaner. You can free up gigabytes in seconds using a built-in Terminal command.

How to Clear System Storage on macOS

1. Open Terminal

  • Press Command (⌘) + Space
  • Type Terminal and press Return

2. Paste and run this command

What This Command Does

  • Clears out temporary system files, logs, and app caches
  • Removes leftover installer packages and update debris
  • Frees up valuable space — without touching your personal files

More Space, Instantly

Your Mac should now have more free space and feel less sluggish.
Repeat this fix occasionally — especially after software installs, updates, or large file transfers.
