I'm having trouble with storage on my Mac and can't figure out what's taking up so much space. I've already cleared my Downloads and Trash, and deleted some large video files, but it barely made a difference in my storage. I'm looking for a disk cleanup tool that can help me see what's really hogging my space. I just want to clean things up without risking my system files or wiping my drive. Any recommendations?

DaisyDisk is a solid choice, but if you want something free, Disk Inventory X works well and won't cost you anything. It's a really good alternative!
I use Grand Perspective. It's awesome for visually showing large files and folders, which makes it super easy to find what’s taking up space.
If you're looking for some free options, I swear by Onyx and OmniDiskSweeper for all my cleanup needs. They both get the job done without any cost. It just depends on whether you like a more graphical interface or a straightforward text approach.
I recommend trying DaisyDisk. It gives a great visual representation of your storage, helping you easily identify large files. The built-in system tools are also pretty good now—check the file list in settings for a solid overview sorted by size, but DaisyDisk really excels in visualizing the data.
Honestly, I’d be careful with any cleanup tools on any platform. I wouldn't trust them completely, you never know what might get deleted unintentionally.
