Surprised that Norway ranks so low in the top 10. Surprise based on general impression, not analysis of data.

@adhdeanasl iOS installers aren't on desktop, and usually the most recent one is kept on MacOS if you use it for your iPhone as I do. Other third party installers are in app folders.

As someone who studied modern history and lives in Germany while being Dutch, with a family history of resistance during WW2, make no mistake. The money Trump feeds to ICE means that he is creating the US version of the German Nazi SA, also known as #BrownShirts. Today they go after supposed illegal immigrants, tomorrow they will go after anyone who doesn’t fit to whatever weird version of supremacy The Leader wants.

@adhdeanasl That level of detail is a bit more work, of course, but you *can* see what files are associated with what apps and what processes. I have done this for some stubborn remnants of apps that have been uninstalled but left a few pieces here and there. But it is tedious. Low-hanging fruit is to look for really big files. I keep iPhone backups, and occasionally throw away old backups. And there are installers you can throw away. The storage utility gives idea where big stuff resides.

@adhdeanasl

Go to System Settings (gear wheel icon or click on apple icon top left of screen), then "general", then "storage" to see where your space is consumed. You then may need to visit those places.
