Can I offload an app that I already moved to my fast drive?

\n

Short answer: Yes — use Offload on the Moved tab. The app and its data are archived on the fast drive so the data stops using your Mac's space too.

\n

Yes. Every app on the Moved tab has an Offload button. Offloading it archives the app and its data together on your fast drive, so its data stops taking space on your Mac too. Restore it later from the Offloaded tab.
