does anyone know what other storage is? I got on my mac today and was going to reinstall xcode after deleting it because of how shitty the software is but I couldn't download it because I didn't have enough space. I go to look at my storage and I have 155 GB of storage named "other" AND IT WONT EVEN LET ME CHECK WHAT OTHER IS

Might be "backups" or some sort of system snapshots created before installing an update.

It might be some derived data created by xcode and the simulators.
I was using a tool which tracks down all of it and can delete it, since it’s only cache data.

The tool name was xcode cleaner or something like that.

Maybe DevCleaner. But the advices on this website are good, too.

If you have timemachine backups enabled it will most likely be the backups. I had the same question a year ago 😂
