Hello, i got in storage almost 60GB of Applications (About this mac -> storage). I checked in apps - they maybe have 20GB. Where and how can i find last 40gb to eventually remove it manually?
It is awful comparing to windows, how it is created on macbooks :)
I know there are tools, but one of them i am using has finished free licence. Should it not be as a system part and free to use? ...

Download DiskWave from here:
It's small in size and free.

Open DiskWave and go to the preferences.
Put a checkmark in "show invisible files".
Close preferences.

The DiskWave window shows you all your volumes and drives in plain English (no ridiculous graphical formats).
Click on any item "on the left".
Now, you'll see what's ON the volume, listed in order of "largest to smallest".
You can easily locate what's eating up your space.
