It's really frustrating that there is no ability to reclaim the drive space in MacOS 27, especially on Macbooks with M1 or M2 chips that can barely use the models. Another great sign of how the OS is deeply on fire IMO.

  Especially iPhones.
  You can’t determine what is taking up space on your iPhone in the “system data” or “Other” section in iOS. The only way to “reduce” it is to restore and wipe the phone.
  That is a scam.

    My "system data" is taking up 193 GB.
    Is my Mac doing something wrong here? Anyway to see what's inside?

    It's likely things like volume snapshots, indexes, application caches etc

  How can you say it's your computer if you can't just delete the files yourself? Is it really your SSD?
