A few big files often account
for most of your storage problem.

The Power Law of Storage Waste

Storage issues follow a power law: a small number of large files account for the majority of your wasted space. Finding and removing just 3โ€“5 large files you no longer need often recovers more space than hours of granular cache cleaning.

Common large files hiding on Macs:

  • Virtual machine disk files (.vmdk, .vdi, .sparseimage) โ€” VMs for old projects can be 20โ€“50 GB each
  • Old installer DMGs โ€” macOS installer DMGs (10โ€“15 GB each), app installers you never deleted
  • Video files โ€” raw screen recordings, exported video projects, downloaded movies
  • Archive files โ€” .zip files you extracted but never deleted the original of
  • Database files โ€” Docker images, local databases, backup archives
  • iOS backup files โ€” full device backups at 10โ€“50 GB each
  • Xcode simulators and device support โ€” often several GB per iOS version
Pro tip: Pair Large Files with the Space Visualizer. Large Files finds specific files sorted by size. Space Visualizer shows you which folders have the most content overall. Together they give you the complete picture.

How the Scan Works

CleanMachine scans your entire home directory recursively, comparing each file's size against the threshold. The default is 50 MB, which you can adjust. Results are sorted by size (largest first) so the highest-value targets are always at the top. Each row shows the file name, full path, and size.

Common questions.

Can I change the minimum file size threshold?

Yes. The Large Files view has a configurable threshold. The default is 50 MB, but you can adjust it to find files over any size โ€” useful if you want to see only truly massive files (say, 500 MB+) or drill into smaller files that add up.

Does it scan external drives or network volumes?

The current version scans your home directory. For external drives, you can use the Space Visualizer which lets you navigate to any mounted volume and drill down the folder hierarchy to find large content.

What if I'm not sure if a large file is safe to delete?

Use the "Show in Finder" button to open the file's location in Finder and inspect it before deciding. If you remove it and change your mind, it goes to CleanMachine Trash โ€” not permanently deleted โ€” so you can restore it.
