What does the Free Up Space progress sheet show while it runs?
Short answer: It streams the run as it happens — the step, folders being moved and caches being cleaned. Open it from Free Up Space — view live progress; closing it doesn't stop the run.
It streams what the run is doing as it happens: which step it's on, the folders being moved to your fast drive and the caches being cleaned, so you can follow along. Open it by clicking Free Up Space — view live progress in the popover while a run is going.
You don't have to keep it open — close it and the run continues. When it finishes, the popover shows a coloured result banner summarising what was freed. See what the result banner means.
