- Mac users tracing disk usage before deleting files
- Worth noticing
- System folders, Keychains, iCloud Drive, Messages, Photos, and .ssh are refused outright by its safety rules.
Field notes
The scan can target a Home folder or the whole disk; the page says hard links count once and symlinks are not followed. Cleanup checks are refreshed immediately before removal, and operations are appended to a JSON-lines log at ~/Library/Logs/DiskApp/operations.log. The page also distinguishes app-managed cleanup candidates from tool-managed data such as Docker, pnpm stores, and Xcode simulators, for which it offers commands to run manually.
