+## Storage
+
+
+You can check why your macOS is low on storage.
+
+Few good links about macOS caching about everything in its system directory.
+One single Xcode installation can go up to 60gigs of storage. This is pretty bad for apple hardware where Memory costs like Caviar be it Volatile (RAM, L1.*x Cache) or Non Volatile (Disk / SSD / ROM).
+
+Luckily apple provides us two options
+
+- One is there System Preferences -> Storage with some option to delete unused storage and cleanup extra support libraries.
+- It tries to upsell iCloud Storage packages to offload mac / device storage to Cloud. Seamless integration or anti competitive - forced planned obsolescence type of stuff. You can be the judge.

+I recommend few things

+### Support Files
+
+Delete Phone old OS device support files, for example if you had an iOS / iPadOS / Apple TV / Vision Pro or any apple development device on a specific OS and then you upgraded from iOS 16.4 -> iOS 17.4 then Xcode or macOS has old iOS 16.4 device support files for Obj-C / Swift Headers or just for debugging symbols. That's why every time you connect a new device to xcode -> it performs this process of `Preparring for Device support`
+
+Turns out if you have like 4 - 7 development devices for one Xcode the storage support files goes up to 20Gigs+ usually each device + OS combo accounting for 2 - 4 gigs.
+You can delete them in `Apple -> System preferences app -> Developer -> Delete Device Support Files`
+
+
+### Terminal Commands
+
+`du` (disk usage) and `df` (disk free) commands
+
+
+```sh
+df -h | grep Gi
+
+# Output
+# /System/Volumes/Data 124Gigs 
+```
+
+This grabs space occupied by `Gigs` and then you can sort that data
+
+```sh
+du -h /System/Volumes/Data | grep "G\t" | sort
+```
+
+and if you want breakdown of the folders / directory use
+
+```sh
+du -h -d 1
+```
+
+### Clean my Mac
+
+ [Clean my Mac - MacPaw](https://cleanmymac.com/)
+ Just make sure to disable everything else like analytics, full disk scanning, protection stuff etc & auto login. I usually use this app once in 30 days.
