Counter counter point, my 128gb 2013 mbp I use for development has 90gb of “system” cruft somehow and I regularly have to shuffle files around, and have been thinking I need to re-image it since I can’t dig deeper into what the “system” bucket is made up of easily.

I discovered that the Chrome browser had been storing every previous version as it updated them. I had over 20 GB of old versions of Chrome, which I recovered when I deleted them.

GrandPerspective does it for me. Really intuitive interface to figure out what's taking how much of storage and delete it.

I have the exact same issue. I have 256gb in my MBP, but 162gb are used by system files. I can't seem to figure out what is being used and how to clear it out.

I’ve been very happy with Daisy Disk over the years.

Omni Disk Sweeper is free and works pretty well: https://www.omnigroup.com/more
