Freeing up space · Storage Profile, charts and Home

How do I find the biggest individual files on my Mac with Storage Studio?

Short answer: Open the Storage Profile's Biggest space-users list, which ranks files by the space they really use on your disk. For folders, use Biggest on this disk in What's Using Space.

Open the Storage Profile and look at Biggest space-users. It lists the files genuinely taking up room, measured by the space they actually use on this Mac's disk — so online-only cloud files, which use no local space, don't clutter the list.

For folders rather than single files, use Biggest on this disk in What's Using Space, which you can drill into to any depth. And for large files in your working folders, Free Up Space's oversize-file step can move them to your fast drive — see the oversize-file step.
