In my Library, the folder Group Containers has a storage of 162 GB!! How do I clean this?

That would be a question for its developer: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support


We can assume items (files, folders, etc) used by the app in question are required for its proper function, and I assume that would be considered "important". It's up to us to decide which apps to install on a Mac, how to use them, how to update them, and how to get rid of them when you no longer want them.
