Hello
Trying to clear some storage on my Mac, I had deleted this football manager app and its accompanying files, but when I'm in storage, I have this ghost file thats taking up over 5gb, the file definitely isn't there as I've deleted the folders it belonged in, any ideas?
Also what's the best way to remove "Other" in storage too..
Thanks
MacBook
Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
If necessary rebuild the Spotlight index for the hard drive and check to see if the file remains or not: How to rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support
