How can I effectively clear System Data on macOS? Hello, I have around 189GB of system data in my Macbook Air M1. I tried cleaning the cache files, deleted local snapshots, and updated the OS(currently it is Sequoia 15.2) but nothing worked out, the system data hasn't reduced much. Can anyone let me know any suggestions to clear it out as it is eating my entire disk space. Thank you! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

how to clear system data My system data is almost 150 GB. I deleted cache and logs library and only got back 5GB. What is taking all that space and how can I clear it? My mac only has 250 GB so it's weird that so much of the space is taken by "system data."

How do I delete files from System Data My storage is full and when I delete files they appear in System Data, I cannot download any program to help free up space or clean up my Mac because my disk is full. I have also tried to transfer files to an external hard drive and that has failed as well.
