To activate this feature, you can right-click the app icon in Applications, select Get Info, and check the box next to Scale to fit below built-in camera. When you relaunch the app, you will find that the menu bar is placed under the notch.

## Find Large Files Using Finder

When it comes to finding large files, the first method that comes to your mind must be the Finder. Finder is powerful. You can use it to locate files of a specified size, files with the same extension or name, and so on. But in the results list, the Finder will only show you single files, not large folders containing multiple small files. Therefore, it may be difficult for you to determine whether a file is important to you or not. If you still insist on using Finder to search and delete large files, follow the steps below.

1. Open the Finder from the Dock.
2. Click the magnifier icon in the upper right corner.
3. Type anything into the box, and you will see a "+" button below the search box.

6. Preview the files in the result list and delete the files you no longer need.
7. Empty the Trash.

## Find Large Files Using Storage Manager

    ![Find Large Files with Terminal](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_large_files_terminal_f1ce851efb.png)
3. You can also use the find command to limit your search. For example, enter and run `find . -size +50MB -size -100MB `. This command will find files under your current directory that are between 50MB and 100MB in size.
4. To delete the large files you find, use the rm command. In our case, we use `rm ./Downloads/SpotifyFullSetup.exe`.

## What is Purgeable Space on Mac?

According to [Apple](https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/get-detailed-information-about-a-disk-dskutl1005/mac), purgeable space is space that macOS can free up by deleting files from the computer when space is needed. Apple makes it visible in macOS Sierra and later versions. Once you turn on Optimize Mac Storage feature, you might be able to see the purgeable space on your Mac. 

The files taking your purgeable space include files in your iCloud, movies and TV shows you watched, local Time Machine backups, files and documents you haven't used in a long time, cached files, and more.

## How to Check Purgeable Space on Mac?

Want to know the size of your purgeable space? Follow the steps below to check it out.

1. Click the Apple icon in the menu bar, and select About This Mac.
2. Click the Storage tab, and then wait for the system to calculate the storage usage.
3. After the calculation is done, hover your mouse over the section with white and gray stripes, and you will see that it is marked as purgeable. At the same time, you can also see the amount of space it takes up.

## How to Clear Purgeable Space on Mac?

Usually, we do not need to clean this space manually. But if you cannot install apps because the remaining space is insufficient, you can try some ways to reduce the purgeable space. You also don't have to worry about the impact of deleting the files inside. Here are 4 ways you can try.

### Optimize Mac Storage

1. Click the Manage button on the storage bar.
2. In the storage management window, you can find four optimization recommendations: Store in iCloud, Optimize Storage, Empty Trash Automatically, and Reduce Clutter. 
    - Click the Store in iCloud and uncheck all the boxes.
    - Disable the Optimize Mac Storage: click the Apple icon > System Preferences>Apple ID > iCloud to uncheck all the possible applications and the Optimize Mac Storage button.
    - Keep Empty Trash Automatically turned on.
    - Click the Review Files button to remove large files and outdated files.
3. Restart your Mac.

![Optimize Mac Storage](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/optimize_storage_e81ab6af52.png)

### Disable Time Machine Backup

If you still reduce the purgeable space, you may check your Time Machine Backup. Follow the following steps to disable it from your Mac.

1. Click the Apple icon > System Preferences > Time Machine.
2. Uncheck the Back up Automatically button. 
3. Quit Time Machine.

![Disable Time Machine Backup](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/disable_time_machine_5d80b20e2a.png)

### Remove Cached Files

Rebooting your Mac will help you get rid of the purgeable space, but it will terminate all the tasks on your computer. If you don't want to restart your Mac, you can [delete cache files](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/clear-cache-on-mac) manually using Finder. 

1. Open Finder and click the Go menu on the top of your screen, and select Library.
2. Click Caches, open it, and delete the files you don't need.
3. Empty your Trash.

![Clear Caches with Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_caches_with_finder_e223944283.png)

However, there is a risk that you may delete an important file by mistake with this method. At this time, you can use a third-party tool like [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/) to clean up your system cache and system logs, delete large files, and remove unnecessary duplicates in a few clicks.

<group><linkbutton href='/buhocleaner/download' prefix='download'>Free Download</linkbutton></group>

Here're the steps:

1. Download and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.
2. Launch it, select a cleaning option in the sidebar, click the scan button, and remove the files you don't need.

It's that easy!

![Clear Cache Files with BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_cache_files_with_buhocleaner_16bec1e3e8.png)

### Reclaim Purgeable Space via Terminal

There is another complicated but effective method to clear purgeable space. That is to create large files on your Mac to use up your storage space, thereby forcing your macOS to free up space.

1. Open Terminal from Launchpad or Spotlight.
2. Paste the command into Terminal: `mkdir ~/largefiles`. (This will create a new folder named largefiles in your home directory.)
3. Execute the command: `dd if=/dev/random of=~/largefiles/largefile bs=15m`. (This will create a file called largefile in the largefiles folder, which contains the random output from /dev/random.)

    <note notetype='Note'>Your Terminal may look frozen as the command is running.</note>

4. A few minutes later, hit Click + C in the Terminal to stop the command from Step 3.
5. Run the command: `cp ~/largefiles/largefile ~/largefiles/largefile2`.
6. Continue to run the copy command from Step 5, but remember to change the largefile2 to a different name each time. 
7. Once you see a message telling you that the disk is critically low, run the command: `rm -rf ~/largefiles/` to delete all of the largefiles from your Mac.
8. Empty your Trash.

:p[Wrap Up]{.h2}

Having read this far, you probably have a better understanding of how to delete the purgeable space. Since your macOS will automatically clear this space when you run out of storage, it is not recommended that you clean it manually unless you need to.

If you are run low on storage space, use BuhoCleaner to clean and optimize your Mac in a couple of clicks. Try it for free now.

## Why Are There Duplicate Files on Your Mac

When you have enough storage space, you may not pay attention to these duplicate files. But duplicate files do exist and take up Mac space in vain. If you use a [duplicate file finder](https://www.drbuho.com/) to discover them, you will find that the number of duplicate files is far more than you think, so why are there so many duplicate files on your Mac?

In fact, there are tons of reasons why duplicate files may appear. Below are some of the more common ones:

- Repeated downloads of the same file.
- Accidental copying of files.
- Importing the same image multiple times from other devices.
- Attachments to emails and messages.
- Automatic generation by other applications.

Knowing the causes of duplicate files, the next thing you need to do is to find them and remove them. 

## How to Find and Remove Duplicate Files on Mac

You can find and delete duplicate files in two ways: manually and automatically. The manual way is a bit complicated and tedious, and it is recommended for users who are familiar with Mac. And the automatic method is easy, time-saving, and very friendly to novices. 

Now, let's learn the steps of the two ways.

### Manually Find and Delete Duplicates with Finder

1. Click the Finder menu > File > New Smart Folder.

![Click New Smart Folder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/click_new_smart_folder_1ce9d9afac.png)

2. Click the + button in the upper right corner.

![New Smart Folder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/new_smart_folder_ca243c9942.png)

3. From the first drop-down menu, select Kind. Now you can search for documents, photos, music, movie, PDF, or several other files types.

![Find Duplicate Files](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_duplicate_files_b49bdab3d3.png)

4. Open the files with the same name and size to check if they are duplicates. If yes, delete the ones you don't want.

As you can see, using the New Smart Folder does help you find and remove duplicate files, but it takes time. If you don't want to spend a lot of time dealing with duplicates manually, we strongly recommend you to use the free duplicate file finder, BuhoCleaner, instead.

### Quickly Detect and Remove Duplicates with BuhoCleaner

[BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/) is one of the best duplicate file finders for Mac. It enables you to find duplicate files, photos, and songs in a few clicks. 

<group><linkbutton href='/buhocleaner/download' prefix='download'>Download for Free Now</linkbutton></group>

1. Download and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.
2. Launch it and click the Duplicates tab in the sidebar.

![Duplicate File Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/duplicate_file_finder_1ab485a032.png)

3. Click the + button and choose a folder to scan.

![Scan Duplicate Files on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/scan_duplicate_files_570c70c970.png)

4. Once the scan is complete, you can see that all the duplicates in your selected folder are categorized into images, documents, archives, and other files. 
5. Preview these duplicate files and delete the ones you don't need. Or, you can simply click Select Duplicates, select all the newest or oldest duplicates, and then click the Remove button to delete them with one click.

:summary[**Summary**: From this blog post, you will learn how to clear the cache in Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.]

Overload Safari cache files will not only take up a lot of your valuable storage space but may also degrade the performance of your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. If you want to [free up some storage space](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-space-on-mac) and make your system run faster, clearing the Safari caches may be a good way. In this blog, we will introduce to you in detail what Safari's caches are, when you should clear them, and how to clear them on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

<toc allow='1,2'></toc>


## What is the Cache in Safari?

Simply put, a cache is a copy of the requested web resource. It includes Html pages, js, images, data, etc. When you revisit a website, the cache stored in Safari will decide whether to use that copy in response to your access request or send the request to the original page. Generally, if the page is not updated, the cache is used directly.

Cached files reduce the pressure on the server and speed up the opening process of a site. Since they are so important, is it safe to delete them? Keep reading.

## When Should You Clear Safari Cache?

It's safe to remove Safari caches. However, we do not recommend that you delete them unless you encounter the problems below. Because when you delete the cache files of Safari, you will find that the web page opens slower than before when you revisit it. 

- **Insufficient Storage Space**

   The cache files are stored in your hard drive. The more websites you visit, the more storage space they occupy. Cleaning them can help you free up some storage space and boost your device performance.
- **Error Occurred on the Page**

    From time to time, we may encounter errors on the page. Deleting the Safari cache can help correct these problems.
- **Protect Your Privacy**

    Privacy issues have always been a concern. Malware and ads can get some information about you through the websites you visit. If you don't want to be tracked, clearing the cache in Safari can help you protect your privacy efficiently.
