No matter how organised you are, one day you will go to download something and see your disk is full. While annoying, this is a relatively easy fix when you know the methods in freeing up storage space.
1) Deleting your junk
It goes without saying, but if you leave your folders unattended useless files and unused applications can clog up your storage. It is good practice to occasionally go through your downloads and documents and remove all the unnecessary files, programmes, apps, images, and videos.
2) Utilise iCloud storage
Your iCloud is incredibly important and handy for backing up your account, photos, and documents. You get 5gb of iCloud storage free, granted this isn't much however you can use it to back up especially important files.
3) Empty your trash
Files in your trash still take up space until you empty it permanently.
4) Clear browser cache
Over time, your browser cache can accumulate and take up significant space.
5) Use storage optimisation tools
Mac has built-in tools to help you identify and remove large files you no longer need.
