No advice helped, Apple systems are pure evil in this! iOS, clean installation, no backup restorations, so I could download it again, I took the trouble to set everything up again and download some software from Appcentury, the result – to tears! Alone iOS is almost 12GB of crap! My other data is around 8GB! So almost 20GB of data in my ass, plus I've been using 256GB for years, on which I still have a drop of space for photos….. MacOS is the same, even a clean install won't help. The Apple system is immediately *sucked up with some kind of ballast in the order of a bunch of GB of data.
Not to shit, actually Windows they are similar to pasqueville, it also accumulated there somewhere…..
Golden Linux and pure Android custom ROMka…..
PS: Apple I have it on Flex so that people can see it and not be a sock, otherwise it's a terrible scumbag.
Zadziało dane systemowe zajmowały 143 GB ! Changing the data helped!
