Help! iCloud keeps filling up my storage and I can't get it to be more conservative. brctl evict does not work throws errors when I try to evict individual files, there is no "Remove Download" menu item in Finder when right clicking folders inside iCloud. I'm on the latest Sonoma beta.

I might just have found the solution:
Optimize Storage has to be off in order to be able to manually evict files, and I had it off in Ventura. Apparently it got turned on in an update but _appeared_ as being turned off. Turning it "on" and off again returned the ability to evict files to me!

Stop using the TARDIS to store your data!

@howtophil but doesn't TB stand for telephone booth?

That's just a broken chameleon circuit... and that the TARDIS likes that shape.

@howtophil the units all start making sense now. 1000 TB (Telephone Booth) are 1 PB (Police Box)

I plan to store my "extra data" as QR codes laser-etched into rock
