New iMac M4 with 512 storage arrived with Sequoia 15.2 Updated to 15.5 and Adobe apps installed. Now we have 6GB free space....

We tried all suggestions from a thread with similar problems, nothing worked and now we reinstall Sequoia. We already lost two days...

Once upon a time Apple had the best OS. Not anymore...

How much space was available before you updated to 15.5?

How much space was available before you installed Adobe apps (and which apps did you install)?

(Also did you install Creative Cloud Storage and ask it to download all? What about templates, fonts, libraries, etc?)

You surely must realise something is seriously wrong. Or, your Adobe apps are sucking all your storage.
Either is a possibility. One thing it isn't, is MacOS.
Your own common sense should tell you that. Yet it seems not.

There are people running MacOS 15 with 256GB computers.
If you seriously think MacOS is sucking 400GB+ storage, how do you think they even begin to run it?

Tone of the thread proves yet again why I would be absolutely sh*t running any kind of helpline or Genius bar, because I just don't have the patience for people with zero ability to think things through logically.

I upgraded to 15.5 and while it caused me a MBP/Monitor connection headache, my storage numbers didn't budge. Adobe is the more likely suspect here, as others have said.

complaining; so much better than asking for help 🙄

meanwhile, many of us run sequoia without issue (or without life-shattering issues). have a problem? get help (this community alone is an incredible resource, and yes, you can also call apple)

You bought a computer expecting to run Adobe Creative Cloud apps (along with all the pre-installed apps & utilities including Apple Intelligence - which can take up a LOT of storage space) and only got 512GB of storage. Sorry man, but that's on you.
 
That's incredibly frustrating to hear, especially with a brand new iMac M4! Losing that much storage immediately and then days to troubleshooting is definitely not a good experience. Hopefully, the reinstall resolves it for you.

We contacted Apple and they couldn't explain it either... Adobe was a new installation so nothing on Adobe cloud and we also checked iCloud. The re-installation seems to solve the problem so far - possibly a bug with 15.2 that messed APFS volumes caused this...

Just do a clean install. Upgrading just carries all the issues you had beforehand with it.

I think it's only fair to apologise to APPLE, it was not their fault (this time).
;JOOP!
