Macbook Air M3 2024. Under Macintosh HD folder their is a folder called Users, this has 95 gb, but each of the individual folders seem to have only about 2mb in each, where is the rest of the data
In the ~/Library folder. That folder is hidden by macOS, for a reason. It's where apps store their (your) data, e.g. email attachments.
See this for some tips:
What is “Other” storage on a Mac, and how… - Apple Community
What you can do…
• Empty the Trash in the Dock.
• Empty the trash in the Photos app.
• Delete unused and unneeded installers from your downloads folder and desktop.
• Reboot your Mac at least weekly.
• Transfer files that you don’t use daily to an external drive and then delete them from the startup drive and empty the trash. Files that take up the most room are movies, images and music.
