No documents, video, music, or other files. If I look at "cache" in Activity Monitor, it tells me there is zero activity, zero files. The "im" in the name "imagent" makes me think the folder relates to Messages. But the dates on the files in that folder don't correspond to anything in Messages. (The most recent date/timestamp was from today, while I wasn't even in the room.) The datestamps on the files begin in Jan 2019. There are 28 unique dates from then until today. Some dates have only a few files, but three of the dates have thousands - one date has nearly 5000 files, all with timestamps in a 37-minute range and another with 2300 files in just 2 minutes. Is it possible that the OS has had a few meltdowns and, in the process, somehow created a whole bunch of junk files? I can't think what I could possibly have done to create that many files that quickly. I've spent some time reading up on CleanMyMac and now feel that I should give my keyboard a bath. OnyX sounds like it's not such a hideous little gremlin, but also not necessary. Re: This Mac just doesn't have enough storage. I don't doubt it, but it's what I could pay for, and so it's what I have. That said, I lead a somewhat dull computing life. Every few months, I clear out email and delete browser caches. I don't often remove old messages, b/c I haven't found a straightforward way to easily clear out the detritus without also losing things I want to keep. The Documents folder (that houses all those exciting spreadsheets and my Quicken files) is 6.8GB. Very little music (iTunes folder is 400 MB). Still, it seems like I ought to be able to do more than that without constantly running out of space. GOOGLE CACHE DELETE OMNIDISKSWEEPER MAC.
