I'm a newbie on the journey of building my own operating system and I'm using Docker for this project. I started with 75GB of disk space, but 36 hours later, I'm down to just 20GB! I haven't downloaded anything extra and my project files only take up about 600MB.
I've tried everything I can think of to find that lost space: I've searched through my machine, deleted caches, uninstalled Docker, and even removed the massive com.docker.docker file that was over 1TB! After all that, I only managed to free up 4GB. I'm really confused and could use some help in tracking down where over 50GB of disk space has disappeared on my Intel MacOS. This whole situation is overwhelming!

It sounds like you might be creating a lot of containers each time you're testing your OS. Double-check your Docker setup for any unused images that could be taking up space. If you don't have many left, the issue might be something specific to Mac OS itself. Just a heads-up, this could be causing the chunk of space loss you're seeing!
I noticed the same thing! My system settings show over 134GB used by applications, but when I looked closer, it turned out that iMovie was the biggest culprit at 4GB. It's odd, right?
