Apple Wallpaper Storage Size and Location (Aerials, etc.)

[A4orce84]

Hi Everyone,

I was reading this post about the amount of space being taken by the Aerial Wallpaper and Videos: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255173836?sortBy=rank

But the location no longer exists (I did a fresh install of Sequoia this past weekend) /Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/ ---> I do not have the com.apple.idleassetsd directory on my system.

Did Apple move the directory in a recent update? I jsut want to know if there is some space I can save by deleting some of these video files as the post I linked above goes into.

Thanks!

Did you actually download the wallpapers/screensavers from the cloud? You said you just did a clean install, so chances are they're not on your computer...and you can't remove the stock wallpaper since they're on the system volume. That post was only for wallpaper/screensavers that you've downloaded.

This article goes into a little more detail.
