# What is the yellow "Want more space?" panel after Free Up Space?

It appears after a Free Up Space run that couldn't reclaim much, with one-tap suggestions based on what's actually using your space:

- **Open Apps window** — when your Applications folder is large, so you can move big apps to your fast drive.
- **Open Data Parking** — to relocate big folders, such as parts of Documents, to your fast drive.
- **Open iCloud settings** — for files synced to iCloud, so you can keep them online-only.
- **Manage snapshots** — when your Mac's own local snapshots are holding space you've already freed.

Each chip just opens the right place; nothing happens until you act there. See [when the Manage snapshots chip appears](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/when-does-the-manage-snapshots-chip-appear).
