How do I see a log of what Storage Studio has done?

Short answer: Open More → Background Activity… for a plain-English card per background job, or More → Activity Log… for the detailed log. In the Advanced popover, ⌘L opens the Log window.

There are two views, depending on how much detail you want:

  • More → Background Activity… — the plain-English view: one card per kind of background job, when it last ran, a health pill and any issues explained simply.
  • More → Activity Log… — the detailed log of recent activity.

For what a specific clean-up removed, open the result of that run, which lists exactly what was cleared. In the Advanced view, ⌘L opens the Log window from the popover.
