> Step-by-step guides to seeing, freeing and keeping storage on your Mac, built only from Apple's documentation and, for developer tools, each tool's own docs.

- [How to see what’s using your Mac’s storage](https://diskcensus.com/blogs/see-whats-using-your-mac-storage.md): Storage settings show how full your disk is, which kinds of files take the most space, and the large files you can remove.
- [How to free up space on your Mac](https://diskcensus.com/blogs/free-up-space-on-your-mac.md): Start with the recommendations built into macOS, then remove the files, apps and backups you no longer need.
- [What System Data means in your Mac’s storage](https://diskcensus.com/blogs/what-is-system-data-on-mac.md): What Apple says System Data holds, why you can’t clear it from Storage settings, and what does help.
- [How to uninstall apps on your Mac](https://diskcensus.com/blogs/uninstall-apps-on-mac.md): Quit the app, use its uninstaller if it has one or move it to the Trash, then empty the Trash.
- [How to clear developer caches on your Mac](https://diskcensus.com/blogs/clear-developer-caches-on-mac.md): Xcode, Homebrew, npm and Docker each have their own way to give space back, set out in their own documentation.
