# Why does What's Using Space show names like "iOS device backups" instead of folder paths?

So you can tell at a glance what each row is. Each row leads with a friendly label — for example "Cursor app data" or "iOS device backups" — and puts the actual location on a second line underneath, which you can select and copy.

The folder icon on the row reveals it in Finder. The size is shown in large type and colour-coded so the biggest items stand out. See [what ACTIONABLE means](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/what-does-actionable-mean).
