Then there is another category called ‘purgeable’, which appears in macOS Sierra and later. This can also include PDF, PSD, and DOC files, as well as any temporary files and caches. These include files such as disk images or archives, data stored by apps (such as Contacts and Calendars), and app plug-ins or extensions. This category contains files that the system doesn't recognize as belonging to any specific category. Here macOS will display a colored ‘storage bar’ with each segment representing an estimate of the storage used by a category of files: system, applications, photos, backups, and the like.īut then there is a category you might find confusing: ‘Other’. If you are looking to understand what might be eating up space on your startup disk, there is an easy way to find that out: just hit the Apple menu > About This Mac, and then the Storage tab.
