Clearing Space on a Mac:

Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:

B. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

C. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Many 13-inch MacBook Pros from Late 2013 through early 2015 were considered "entry level" and had small 128GB solid-state drives (SSD). Formatted, 121GB is about right for a real-world amount available. Larger SSDs with capacities of 256GB, 512GB, 768GB, and 1 TB (1000GB) were always an option.


Most people who declined the larger SSD option at time of purchase are now having space issues. You should be able to find a user-installable kit with a larger SSD, such as these:
