I keep getting this warning on my MacBook Air 2017 (Mojave 10.14.6, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD).
"mac os your disk is almost full save space by optimising storage."
Storage shows 41 GB free space out of 121.1 GB. But my system files space comes to between 59.79 GB and 49.34 GB. This fluctuates every half a minute or so. Perhaps this happens when I press dismiss the warning.
I've freed up a decent bit of space (videos, bigger PDFs, uninstalled iMovie). But the warning is coming on more frequently.
Something tells me this has to do with system files. I sync Photos through iCloud between my Mac and iPhone. I have Time Machine backups going back years. But I cleared these out by temporarily switching off backups. I also setup an older backup to be read on Outlook Mail.
Other than these I don't think there's much I've done to clog up system files. How do I set things back to normal? Help
Thanks!
