Why does my Mac system require so much space? What does it contain? Is it safe to remove some of those system data files? How do I regain more storage space? Worse yet, you have no idea what’s included in “System Data” storage, because clicking the “Manage” button brings you to this System Information window… and the “System Data” row is greyed out. In the example above, the System Data takes an astonishing 232 GB of precious storage. To your surprise, you see a grey bar “System Data” that seems to occupy way more space than you think it should. My MacBook Pro “System Data” is taking a large amount of disk space You try to figure out what’s taking up your disk space by clicking the Apple logo on the top-left of the screen, selecting About This Mac, and hitting the Storage tab.
