what is the easiest way to clean up space on my Mac, I've done all the scans that would normally do I have deleted apps and left my Mac quite bare of apps etc, , but I must have hidden files somewhere that I need to get rid of, where might I find these?

There is only one way: delete user files.


If you choose to keep the data, put it on an external drive or a cloud storage service before deletion. iCloud Drive is not an autonomous data storage solution, it's an interactive service.


Never delete any system files or folders. The usual offenders are large AV files: movies, pictures and such. But all user data is suspect.
