# What is Music Creation in Storage settings, and can I remove it?

**Music Creation** is the sound library content downloaded by GarageBand and Logic Pro — instruments, loops and samples. If you don't make music, it's often several gigabytes you can reclaim.

Click the category's info button in **System Settings → General → Storage** to remove it. The apps download content again if you use them later. Logic Pro can also move its sound library to an external drive instead — see [moving Logic's sound library](https://storagestudio.us/faq/mac-storage-basics/how-do-i-move-the-logic-pro-sound-library).
