These backups are important but can take up a lot of space depending on the capacity of your iDevice and the amount of data stored on it at the time the backup was made. If you open iTunes and choose iTunes> Preferences from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you can then click on the “Devices” tab to see a list of iOS backups you’ve saved on your Mac. Looks like I’m OK for now, but if your free space is down to 10GB or less, get crackin’ on cleaning stuff up! Here are some suggestions on where to start. To check out how much storage you have and how much you’re using, choose the “About This Mac” option under the Apple Menu at the top-left of your screen and then click on the “Storage” tab: While Apple plans to help automate user storage with the “Optimized Storage” feature in the upcoming macOS Sierra, if your Mac is telling you that it’s running out of space today, or you think you’re close to the limit, the first thing to do is check your current storage usage. After all, if your Mac doesn’t have enough space to do its own housekeeping or even to save files anymore, you’ll see all sorts of weird behavior, including poor performance, the dreaded spinning beach balls, or even more serious trouble. Remember that when you move a file to the Trash, its storage space doesn't become available until you empty the Trash.If you’ve seen the scary “your startup disk is almost full” message, then something has to be done. Compress files that you use infrequently.Move some of your files to external storage, such as iCloud Drive* or an external drive connected to your Mac.Check the Users folder on Macintosh HD for any shared files that you no longer need to share.If your Mac is set up for multiple users, remove users that you no longer want to have access to your Mac, or ask them to follow the steps in this article after logging in to their user account. Also check the Users folder on Macintosh HD for any undeleted data belonging to previously removed users.To delete mail that you've moved to the Trash, choose Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items. Delete unneeded email in the Mail app. To delete junk mail, open Mail and choose Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail.Delete unneeded files in the Downloads folder. You can open the Downloads folder from the Dock or by choosing Go > Downloads from the menu bar in the Finder.
Delete unneeded media, such as music or movies or podcasts, which can use a lot of storage space.
