Macbook 系统数据超过200G,尝试多种方法仍然无法删除,疑似keynote文件缓存过大

求助情况:存储空间-系统数据,占用高达230GB,无法定位且删除文件


已尝试以下方式,仍未有效解决

1、删除资源库中caches、log等文件——无效

2、采用柠檬、cleanmymac等第三方工具清理——无效

3、卸载并重装keynote——无效

4、重装系统——因相同的情况重装系统。经过1个月办公后系统数据仍然膨胀到230G


本人工作是产品发布会撰写,大部分时间都用keynote办公。期间可能产生大量缓存,导致系统数据占用大量空间。采用上述措施仍然无法删除。


急需高人指点,如何快速高效删除掉冗余的系统数据



MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.2

You are welcome 🇨🇦


There are two options as mentioned earlier


Moving Forwards so this does not happen again is a very good question 👍


System Data technically, has a mount point /System/Volume/Data 


With a mount point of /System , this Volume is part of the Operating System and can not be deleted - full stop


It is where your User Account (s)  was made when the computer was First Setup as New


We can point-out what may be included in this Volume


Though, how to reduce this is a long and complicated trial and error process


The category is a collection of files which include:


• System temporary files


• macOS system folders


• Archives and disk images (.zip, .iso, etc. - often found in the Downloads folder)


Personal user data


• Files from the user’s library (Application Support, iCloud files, screensavers, etc.)


• Cache files


• Fonts, plugins, extensions


• Other files that are not recognized by a Spotlight search


• Media files that cannot be classified by Spotlight as a media file because they are located inside of a package


•Time Machine Backup Snapshots that have not been transferred to the TM Backup Drive 



•Was there or is there another user account currently or previous used on this computer ?


Has the account been removed ?


Did the removed user account ’s Home Folder also been removed ?


Delete a user or group on Mac


  • If using a Cloud Based Services to sync files,  like iCloud and One Drive. These can also occupy space on the Internal Drive 


They can be located anywhere on your hard drive. The files that you have control over are located in the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music and Movies folders.  You can use either of these two free apps, GrandPerspective , to find the largest files on your drive so you can determine if they can be deleted or moved to an external HD for storage.  


Another Application to find and analyze what is using space on the drive is Etrecheck >> Clean up

2、采用柠檬、cleanmymac等第三方工具清理——无效


Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS,  is an invitation for disaster. 


Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a percentage on each sale. 


What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase


Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 


Disk Cleaner 


CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac


New macOS Malware "Cthulhu Stealer" Targets Apple Users' Data


Un-Like Microsoft Windows, which does have “ Disk Cleanup “ and “ Defrag “ as part of their Operating System 


Apple does not  


There are two different thought about how to handle a computer one this software is used on the computer


1 - Remove it


2 - Start Over from Scratch


For Apple Silicon computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.


This will action will not touch the operating system


Always make a Time Machine Backup  before  proceeding 


I would suggest Only Migrating the User Account and nothing more.
