Apps · Choosing which apps to move
Which apps should I move to an external drive?
Short answer: Large apps you open occasionally with a Safe or Caveat badge — creative tools, games, specialist software. Sort the Internal tab by Size and filter by Older than to find them.
The best candidates are large apps you open occasionally and that show a Safe or Caveat badge — big creative tools, games, specialist or seasonal software. They free the most space and you rarely notice them running from the drive.
To find them, sort the Internal tab by Size and use the Older than filter. Keep on your built-in drive the apps you use all day, apps that must run without the drive, and apps that update constantly. See apps to keep.
