Launching the program will immediately give you four recommendations for optimizing storage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/library\/content\/dam\/edam\/applecare\/images\/en_US\/macos\/monterey\/macos-monterery-storage-management-recommendations.png\" alt=\"Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support\" width=\"465\" height=\"332\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Store in iCloud<\/strong>&#8211; lets you transfer old files, photos, and messages to your iCloud account to free up disk space<\/li><li><strong>Optimize storage<\/strong>&#8211; gives macOS permission to offload Apple TV movies and show you&#8217;ve already watched<\/li><li><strong>Empty Trash Automatically<\/strong>&#8211; is an option to toggle automatic trash deletion every 30 days<\/li><li><strong>Reduce Clutter<\/strong>&#8211; allows you to manually sort through all files to see what to delete more clearly.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Perform Memory Resets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two parts of Mac&#8217;s memory that need to be reset over time. The first, NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory) for newer Macs and PRAM (Parameter RAM) for older Macs, is where macOS stores settings it needs to access quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reset NVRAM \/ PRAM, follow these steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Shut down your Mac<\/li><li>Locate the following keys on the keyboard:&nbsp;<strong>Command, Option, P, and R<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold the&nbsp;<strong>Command-Option-P-R&nbsp;<\/strong>keys for about 20 seconds (for older Macs, hold the keys down until you hear the startup chime for the second time)<\/li><li>Release the keys after 20 seconds and allow it to boot up normally<\/li><li>Check <strong>Startup Disk<\/strong>,<strong> Display<\/strong>, and <strong>Date &amp; Time<\/strong> in <strong>System Preferences<\/strong> to make sure they&#8217;re set the way you want them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The second element of Mac memory that can wear over time is SMC (System Management Controller). Resetting the SMC helps make sure you don&#8217;t run into problems with your battery, fans, and keyboard over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your model, resetting SMCs in Macs can be complicated, but Apple discusses it in great detail <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT201295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Remove Large Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When all else fails, you can remove large apps or transfer them to your iCloud or a local external disk. If your Mac has a small drive, an external SSD is one of the most cost-effective solutions for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recommend finding lighter app alternatives. For example, web browsers like Chrome are notorious for eating up RAM; why not switch to Safari instead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Backup_Data\"><\/span><strong>5.  Backup Data<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although backing up your Mac is not going to speed up your MacBook, it does contribute to an overall smooth mac experience. If the day ever comes that your mac does crash, having a backup will mean you can just quickly back to where it was.  It&#8217;s always a good idea to back up your data in case of a system crash, hard drive failure, or if you need to reformat your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can backup your Mac<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time Machine, a built-in feature in macs, backs up your entire system, including applications, settings, and all of your files.&nbsp;You can then transfer your files into an external hard drive or cloud storage service to free up more space in your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/backup-data-time-machine-mac-1024x700.png\" alt=\"backup-data-time-machine-mac\" class=\"wp-image-3874\" width=\"470\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/backup-data-time-machine-mac-1024x700.png 1024w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/backup-data-time-machine-mac-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/gizmogrind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/backup-data-time-machine-mac.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To set up Time Machine, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Choose&nbsp;<strong>System Preferences<\/strong>&nbsp;from the Apple Menu<\/li><li>Click&nbsp;<strong>Time Machine&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Click&nbsp;<strong>Select Backup Disk&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Verify disk you want to use for backups<\/li><li>Click&nbsp;<strong>Use Disk&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Time Machine will then start backing up automatically.
