I've been making a lot of use of DaisyDisk over the past year: https://daisydiskapp.com

Mole is ok too

TUI version is free, though there is a paid app if that’s your thing

  • Mole author here, thanks for the kind words. Happy to hear what else it should clean up.

  • Yeah mole is brilliant, I just discovered it days after paying for Daisydisk and haven't used Daisydisk since. Mole freed up 80GB on my laptop the first time I ran it.

    • To be fair these are different tools.

      Back in the days you would use cleanmymac for emptiying caches and what have you, and daisydisk to find big folders

DaisyDisk is such a nice app. I just checked and I purchased it over 11 years ago.

They still update it, it works perfectly, no version 2.0 forced obsolescence. Just a nice, reliable tool.

I’ve been using it altogether too much this last month and just bought a 4TB USB4 SSD.

And yes, codex is eating my disk, too. Ironically my solution is mostly codex - I have a task which goes around stomping on detritus.
