# Can Storage Studio tell me how much free space I'll have after a clean-up?

Yes. Before anything happens, the review step tells you what you'll gain in plain terms: roughly how much this frees, and what your free space would be afterwards compared with now.

It's an estimate for planning; the result at the end is measured on your disk and may differ — for example if your Mac briefly holds some freed space in its own backups. Storage Studio tells you if the result falls short. See [the review step](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/what-does-nothing-has-happened-yet-mean).
