+DetroitBORG Yes!!!! This is amazing. I had the most stuff that was taking up space under VOICE MEMOS. Who even knew?! I had over 600 of them from doing RUclips voiceovers. Sheeesh!
Honestly I looked through the comments to see how well these worked and they were pretty good so I tried all of them and honestly the comments do not show how great this worked. I got rid of so much space and things that I didn't need it's incredible. I needed more space to download the sims and now I can get that and probably many more things I need. Thank you so much this was so useful!! :)
I've watched so many tutorials and so many articles on how to remove the "others" on my mac, and yours was the only one that worked. Thank you so much!
Yes interested to know if you can can get AppleJack working with Catalina because I couldn't (disk would not mount). Worked with High Sierra. Commendable video for its time though.
I just found this today, five years after you posted it, and it did the trick. Cheers for the help. Omni Disk Sweeper found a very large file, game launcher, my son installed and nothing else seemed to show it. I now have the space for the new update. Thank you so much.
This video has been a great help, thank you. My sister got rid off all the dream catchers in her daughters rooms, and now they don’t get nightmares anymore. Have been passing this video onto many people. The spirit world is a real force.
I have a question so when you download it you drag straight to applications and then do the terminal thing right ? I did that and I typed in the code thing or whatever and enter my password and it says it can’t be found
I literally never leave comments but I had spent about 4 wasted hours trying to free up space on my MacBook and you were the only one that actually solved my problem without giving the only option being to factory reset my laptop. So, THANK YOU!!
Dude, you are my hero. I've been trying for months to get over 130gb of disk space back out of the hands of the dark force called "other", nothing worked, and here you go, within 5 min minutes, using that OmniDisk, it's all back. One love, bro. All the best from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
You are my favorite new person in the world. Thank you for this! I've been looking for a solution to clean up my Mac for years and all I got was crappy apps that acted more like malware than helpful. You're the first one to give me a real solution.
+Itzel Villarreal Hello, I like the video very much, but I also found very helpfull for Elumpa speedy mac alchemist on google search. You can find it there and you can see information for how to speed up macbook air too
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out best app for cleaning up mac try Stiklind Fast Mac Fixer (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Bro thank you so much for this video!!! So so SO many thanks. I have literally been looking for something like this for years...steps 2 and 3 freed up 120 GB of data for me in like 5 minutes. Reliable download links and no added BS or malware, is this really RUclips? Just superb sir..thank you very much. You are a gentleman and a scholar, and I bow down to you.
I’ve been struggling with low disk space for almost a year and no matter how many files I deleted, it didn’t seem to help. I followed your tips and cleared up 77GB! THANK YOU!!!
I watched this a few months ago when I had storage issues but got too frustrated to even try to understand what to do, so I just did the iMovie project deleting trick and thought I was good. Found this again today after I realized I only had 6 gigs left and decided to muster up the patience to actually try the methods, now I have over 40! So helpful.
I just freed SO MUCH SPACE. After years of trying to figure out where all this crap was while trying not to delete important stuff. This is a god send thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! i've been trying to download the Sims for a while now and it just kept on saying i have no space left so but now thanks to you i have more space :)
Dude you literally are my savior with this Omni sweep. I didn't care what the folder was, anything above 50GB was instantly deleted. If that broke my computer, then I'd deal with it later. But so far so good!
Oh my god I cannot believe I have finally found a video that actually removes "Other"!! Cleared over 50GB from my Mac - DELIGHTED!! Thank you so much Quinn!!
OMG, you literally just helped me get back 289GB of files. And 90% of them were from old videos I created that I thought I had deleted. How crazy! Thanks so much
Finder > Go > Go to Folder ~/library/application support/mobilesync is where " other " usually hangs out Disk Inventory X is also a great program! Especially if you like Tetris : D
This is the first comment I've ever made on youtube but I felt compelled. I've been working on this for hours. Spent 40 minutes on the phone with Apple Support. Your one comment just freed up 40GB! Thank you kind sir!
THIS VID MADE MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER. I have been trying to free up some space on my mac for the past 3 days straight by deleting files. watched this video and instantly freed up 21 gb!
Thank you so unbelievably much. I've been freaking out for AGES because my "Other Volumes in Container" was at 60gb and I had no idea how to fix it and I was trying loads of things but nothing worked and I was like "Im gonna need to upgrade my storage of my mac as this is just stupid" but I just did the Apple Jack thing and now O.V.I.C. is at 1gb. Seriously, this has saved me from so much stuff. THANKSSSS
THANKS MAN this was a life saver! My HD space was down to zero and my Mac was stuck at the spinning ball of death every time I tried to open finder! (I have no idea why), but my computer keeps running out of space every day and I’m constantly having to delete and back up files. This is the inky thing that has helped so far! Thanks again man! 😀🤓
Even though this vid is nearly 4 years old. I was able to clear up 50 GB by the deep sweeping done by Omnisweeper. Had low expectations when starting the video thinking it would be another one of those cliched videos with just fluff about deleting Photos and Backups. Proved me wrong! Liked and subbed!
I always had less than 10 gigabytes on my mac and the "mac storage low" (or something like that) was getting annoying. I followed the OmniDiskSweeper and my MacBook went from 5 GB to over 50 in a couple of seconds thank you so much and you have earned a sub from me
When I enter the commands it says no such file or directory. Any idea what that means? I know I've done it before but it's not working now for some reason.
Thank you so much. I am an older person and have no clue really but I have freed up my hard drive (and everything still works :) ). Took my computer to the local Apple store and they had no clue.
honestly I was kinda lazy to download omnisweeper and go through the whole process but I was desperate to clear up storage and .... THANK GOD I DID!!! I had 2 GB left and now I have 55!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I did this before and it worked a treat! I tried to do the applejack part again (about 18 months after the first time) and I keep getting the error ‘Warning: option -f is not implemented, ignoring error: container /dev/rdisk1 is mounted with write access..... You should attempt to repair the disk again...”. This keeps repeating. Anyone any help please? Thank you!
I know it's an older video but I could really use your help with Omnidisksweeper! :) After I type in the password, the only thing that shows up after is text saying "command not found
I am Running el Capitan 10.11 version. When I try to run Omnisweeperr from the terminal the response is " cannot find command". I verified the application's folder and omnisweeper is there. I Downloaded the file that for the 10.11 system version... and suggestions what my problem could be?
OMG! I do a lot of movie work on my mac and I thought that was what was jamming up my computer. I was down to between 3-1.5 GB on my hard drive. That depended on the maintenance I did after each movie. I also do a lot of audio streaming with my laptop using Mixlr and turns out that is what was clogging up my computer. One quick Omni sweep freed up 30 gigs in my hard drive. Thank you so much.
10/10 video; I needed to free up space so I can continue editing the video I am uploading today but I couldn't & I didn't even know why I couldnt but after using Omni I saved like 200Gigs of shit from old iMOvie files that i don't even use lmao thanks :)
For anyone having problems with the command, go to your Applications, right click the omnisweep app, click content, manOS and double click OmniDiskSweeper :)
OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THIS IS AMAZING HOLY CRAP I WAS ALWAYS HAVING TROUBLE WITH SPACE BUT NOW I FREE'D UP FROM 5 GB TO 90 GB with just the OMNI SWEEPER. LIked and favourited the video.!!!!
I get an Applejack error saying “error: container /dev/rdisk1 is mounted with write access” and it keeps looping to do the disk repair every 10 seconds. What should I do?
Thank you... You helped me delete about 80GB on a 500GB hard drive that I had no idea was sitting there and it was keeping me from being able to install Mojave.
Wow, thank you. I had these large movie files from a university project back in 2015... I thought I'd lost them or deleted them! Turns out they were STILL somewhere in the depths of my laptop's files (maybe when iphoto/photos switched around). THANK YOU!
You need to go through old libraries for folders for apps that don't need those files anymore and delete those (Without deleting files that your apps actually need to run), or download an app that does it automatically. [If you have a relocated items folder on the comp I'd start with that.] Starting the comp in safeboot by holding shift as it starts can purge some cache/temp files, but for the most part, other storage is the remnants of bad programming by app devs and apple devs, and there's no quick fix.
Thx so so so much! I've been stressed out why my mac seems to be full but i dont have many apps installed. after doing your steps apparently i have a lot of render files from Final Cut Pro. Literallyy 200ish GB!! You have helped so many people. You didnt try to sell some cleaning software or whatever. It was straight to the point and easy to follow. GBU
+Joanna Piña osxdaily.com/2015/02/04/terminal-wont-show-password-when-typed/ Just type the password and click enter thats it. Its programmed to not sow while youre typing
won't let me type my password! ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE? already tried everything from the comment section. copy paste password from note (still not working), just typing my password eventhough its not showing (still not working). HELP PLEASE!
When the Password: request comes up, type the password anyway, (even though nothing is showing up) then hit Return when finished. there is no indication that a password is being entered, and that is intentional.
Amanda Hamilton i did, go to ~Library/Cache she delete the FILES inside the folder but NOT the folders themselves. i got up to 60 free gigs (after i updated my computer, i probably had closer to 80 before the update)
I think this happened to me too, but then I found out that I hadn't fully downloaded it. It has to be an omni app picture that you have to drag into the "applications folder", not a folder or a link. I hope that makes sense.
This saved me 50 gigs. I've been trying to get this storage shit sorted for a whole year and thought I had tried everything. Thank you so fucking much.
I cannot thank you enough.. I cleared about 40G without even giving it too much effort, basically just going for the obvious useless files. Also I used omnidisksweeper without the terminal and it worked
I'm stuck. I pasted int he sudo exactly as you do and it came up with a WARNING saying I could lose data and a key next to my password and no way to enter my password... I can't type, clicking the key won't work... any ideas?
I had the same issue. I typed my password anyway and pressed enter. That worked. It didn't show me typing my password but somehow it worked. Hope this helps.
@@jj.flrsYT I’m no expert on this, but when they key symbol appeared, I typed my user password for my Mac. While typing in the password it didn’t show the hidden characters. After typing in the password, I clicked enter, and it worked. It took me about 5 attempts before it started to work.
Omni Disk Sweeper is awesome. Only iMovie and Lightroom together had about 200 GB!!! of backup files. Incredible! Now my MBP free storage looks nice again! Thank you!
It's doing the same thing for me, like I can't enter my password. It says password and has a little key symbol right beside and it doesn't let me write anything... Did you figure it out? (Since your comment is a year old ahaha)
Ok so I typed it in and this is what came up: sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper OCCCrashCatcher: Not enabling crash catching since we're connected to a tty (and thus presumably in gdb) what is it and how to get it to work properly?
After entering the sudo command it says: We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. Password: But it won't let me type my password?
+Andrew Chiborak Most UNIX and UNIX style tools don't show symbols for key presses in the terminal. That is the case for sudo. Just type it in and it will work. The program is eating up the characters but it's not outputting chars to stdout for you to see in the terminal. The successful or unsuccessful typing of the command coming after sudo will only come into play after successful password entry (meaning that you can type "sudo garbageASDF" and you will be able to enter your password). Also, if you type a long command that required sudo privileges but forgot to add sudo at the start, "!!" stands for the previous command entered so doing sudo !! will do it and is much faster than doing then all the way to the start of the command to add in sudo.
Hey i followed all your steps leading up till the terminal stage. After entering in my password I am receiving this error message. "OCCCrashCatcher: Not enabling crash catching since we're connected to a tty (and thus presumably in gdb)" What should I do? Someone please help. Thanks!
Thank you so much, dude. I installed the OmniDisk and I was able to access everything in my disk. I found out that I game I deleted in my mac was still there, and it was taking 40GB of my storage! I am glad I deleted it because I really wanted to install the new Big Sur update. Thank you so much and God bless you. (I actually didn't need to open the terminal, I just opened the application)
These are fantastic tips! Thank you so much for posting this video. Haven't tried applejack yet, but now i have enough room to download it! Thank you again! life saver!

When the Password: request comes up, type the password anyway, (even though nothing is showing up) then hit Return when finished. there is no indication that a password is being entered, and that is intentional.
iena syahmi it doesn’t work
Same here and it still doesn't work when I type it in anyway and press enter
Holy fk TY a lot
My mac was full of sht and Now its all like NEW OMG
+Rengarino mine was the same thing the bitch was full and it freed up 41gb of stupid shit
this was very useful....I opened up so much space and could not figure out how to access my other files. thanks so much!!
Applejack alone cleared up 15 GB of "other" space on my Macbook Air! Really pleased with the results. Thanks for the helpful info.
Cheers.
For some reason, it isn't letting me type in my password after plugging in the sudo command.
the system won't show your password on the scree but you can just type in like usual
@@pggc Still doesn't work :/
This is happening for me too, did you find a way around it?
The same is happening for me - did you find a workaround?
Amanda Hamilton i did, go to ~Library/Cache she delete the FILES inside the folder but NOT the folders themselves. i got up to 60 free gigs (after i updated my computer, i probably had closer to 80 before the update)
"You da you da best, you da you da best..." *in my Drake voice* lol
won't work for me keeps saying Command not found. tried copy paste and also typing it in manually multiple times.
Ugh me too, I don't know what I am doing wrong 😩, help anyone?
did u checked that it has 2 // in here: sudo //Ap...
When you copy the command it only paste one "/" just add one more
me too
I think this happened to me too, but then I found out that I hadn't fully downloaded it. It has to be an omni app picture that you have to drag into the "applications folder", not a folder or a link. I hope that makes sense.
This saved me 50 gigs. I've been trying to get this storage shit sorted for a whole year and thought I had tried everything. Thank you so fucking much.
+Sebastian Cheers! Glad to help.
love the fact that you did not mention the name of cleanmymac for a single time. Good tips!! helped a lot
When typing "sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper" into terminal its telling me command cannot be found? Any help?
MarleyPvP
Are you sure that you have installed OmniDiskSweeper correctly?
MarleyPvP Same problem. I installed OmniDiskSweeper the way he said in the video, and it's not working.
MarleyPvP ThePhantomguy321
You got the latest version of OSX? (10.10.4)
Yer its installed as i can open it and run it, i am running 10.10.3 Fritschge128
MarleyPvP That doesnt mean that it is installed properly. It has to be in the Applications folder. Also, update to 10.10.4 .
OCCCrashCatcher: Not enabling crash catching since we're connected to a tty (and thus presumably in lldb)
same problem here..
it isn't an error really, this will show up anyway. Make sure you have the sudo in the first line of the terminal command in the description
@@alfredo464 that's what i was missing, didnt event realize that. thank you
PLEASE REPLY!! When i try the command sudo it tells me to enter in my password but i just see a key symbol please help.. It won't let me type also
I'm assuming you're able to type, it just won't show your keystrokes. It's confusing. But try typing in your password and hitting enter.
I thinks it because you didn't drag the sweeper into your applications. I was getting the same thing because I skipped that step
Im having the same issue!!!
just type the password in and press enter and it will work fine
even if it doesn't show that you are typing
Hands down the Best way to clear space. Thanks!
I cannot thank you enough.. I cleared about 40G without even giving it too much effort, basically just going for the obvious useless files. Also I used omnidisksweeper without the terminal and it worked
This saved me 75 gigs to bro
Ty
I'm stuck. I pasted int he sudo exactly as you do and it came up with a WARNING saying I could lose data and a key next to my password and no way to enter my password... I can't type, clicking the key won't work... any ideas?
You can type your password, it just won’t show you
Same here
when i plug in the code to terminal i get a key symbol and doesnt allow me to type my password
same
I had the same issue. I typed my password anyway and pressed enter. That worked. It didn't show me typing my password but somehow it worked. Hope this helps.
@@leoarick3753 Hi Leo, could you explain a little more? I'm facing this same issue right now..
@@jj.flrsYT I’m no expert on this, but when they key symbol appeared, I typed my user password for my Mac. While typing in the password it didn’t show the hidden characters. After typing in the password, I clicked enter, and it worked. It took me about 5 attempts before it started to work.
Omni Disk Sweeper is awesome. Only iMovie and Lightroom together had about 200 GB!!! of backup files. Incredible! Now my MBP free storage looks nice again! Thank you!
hats off to you. My mac had 3 gigs left. after your video it has 65 gigs left
its time to update this to 2020 5:35
Any solutions if “command+s” while booting up gives you a lot of text running through but brings you back to the login screen (like usual) ?
what do i do if it doesnt let me put my password in terminal, please help
It's doing the same thing for me, like I can't enter my password. It says password and has a little key symbol right beside and it doesn't let me write anything... Did you figure it out? (Since your comment is a year old ahaha)
Naomi Lacourse It always does that. You just have to know you're putting in your password. Terminal never shows your password.
Just did the Applejacks and it was amazing...cleared up 18 GB of space on my Mac that only had 200 MB left, and took less than 5 minutes.
Thanks! You saved me 300 GB of After Effects Caches i never knew about!
Ok so I typed it in and this is what came up:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
OCCCrashCatcher: Not enabling crash catching since we're connected to a tty (and thus presumably in gdb)
what is it and how to get it to work properly?
+Reglayass Me toooo D:
+Reglayass are you all running El Capitan? I have the same error.
Michael Luna no, im still runing yosemite or whatvever the one before el capitan was
+Reglayass +Snazzy Labs Same thing on 10.11.3, the latest OS X as of February 19, 2016. It is, however, running.
+Reglayass not sure if it matters at this point but the copy + paste adds a space in the word contents that you have to remove to activate the code
After entering the sudo command it says:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Password:
But it won't let me type my password?
+Andrew Chiborak It means somewhere you typed something in incorrectly
+Andrew Chiborak Most UNIX and UNIX style tools don't show symbols for key presses in the terminal. That is the case for sudo. Just type it in and it will work. The program is eating up the characters but it's not outputting chars to stdout for you to see in the terminal. The successful or unsuccessful typing of the command coming after sudo will only come into play after successful password entry (meaning that you can type "sudo garbageASDF" and you will be able to enter your password).
Also, if you type a long command that required sudo privileges but forgot to add sudo at the start, "!!" stands for the previous command entered so doing
sudo !!
will do it and is much faster than doing then all the way to the start of the command to add in sudo.
Hey i followed all your steps leading up till the terminal stage. After entering in my password I am receiving this error message. "OCCCrashCatcher: Not enabling crash catching since we're connected to a tty (and thus presumably in gdb)" What should I do? Someone please help. Thanks!
I'm getting the same message. HALP!
I'm also getting the same thing, did you get it fixed?
same
Same
same help!
Thank you so much, dude. I installed the OmniDisk and I was able to access everything in my disk. I found out that I game I deleted in my mac was still there, and it was taking 40GB of my storage! I am glad I deleted it because I really wanted to install the new Big Sur update. Thank you so much and God bless you. (I actually didn't need to open the terminal, I just opened the application)
These are fantastic tips! Thank you so much for posting this video. Haven't tried applejack yet, but now i have enough room to download it! Thank you again! life saver!
when i put the command it wont let me type my password..
Same
just type it in and press enter it'll work
Why my computer repeats “AppleJack will try to repair the disk again in 10 seconds”.
same with me, how can this be fixed?
