System Storage is Too High

[tab527]

Hello all,

Per the title and attached screenshot, my system storage is over 50% and this has happened before with iOS, but I'll usually just wipe my iPhone clean and start new. Is there an easier way to do that with Mac?

All help is much appreciated.

Why not run a tool a free tool like Omni Disk Sweeper to see exactly what it is that is using all that space? Could be a simple solution...like backup snap shots, iOS backups, or cache run amuck, all of which should be easy to find and remove.

This program is incredible! Had a bunch of games and movies stored away I'd completely forgotten about.

Thank you, Fishrrman!
