How can I stop my computer to fill up overnight and how can I clean up this "other"? I have tried a lot of the tutorials, tricks on the web, but I am not finding a working solution. It is an iCloud problem? I am suggesting that but I am not qualified and I don't really know what is going on. Is that possible, a virus in my iCloud designed to fill-up my computers with useless data? After the re-install, my old iMac is not connecting to the iCloud and it is the only one not filling up. It is almost like there is something inside my iCloud that is filling up my computers with "other". I downloaded some app to clean my Mac (free to start, pay after.) no luck. ![]() I have tried the "manage" utility, no success. Unfortunately, all my computers are still filling up with data. I have done that on all my three computers. I was clever this time and unticked the "optimise Mac Storage". One most annoying thing I have learnt in the past: the iCloud is often defaulting to “optimise Mac Storage (the full contents of iCloud Drive will be stored on this Mac if you have enough space”. ![]() After a few days, the hard drive started filling up again, with "other" Both were perfect, but the old iMac is not connecting to iCloud anymore (not sure why, High Sierra?) The Mac Air was perfect for a few days, lot of memory. I could not fix it and I decided to clear everything and reinstall new OS. My 121GB Mac Book Air had no memory left, despite saving everything on iCloud. The OS on the old iMac is too old and it will need replacing.Īll 3 computers are on iCloud, I have about 1.3TB of documents on the cloud that I share from one computer to the other. I am running three Mac on one iCloud account: one old iMac (mid 2010, High Sierra), one 2017 iMac (Big Sur) and one 2013 MacAir (Catalina). ![]()
