Other storage on my main drive is taking up 650GB. Anyone else experiencing this type of issue? Thoughts or recommendations on how to correct?
 
See if it’s a buildup of snapshots


snapshot dump: copy this into your terminal and run it. Will erase all the time machine snapshots.

tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates / |grep 20|while read f; do tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $f; done
 
Thank you. That freed up a few gigs. But I still have 641GB classified as Other. I thought there was a utility that allowed you to see and clean files that in Other. Does anyone have experience?
