Why can't Cachet remove simulators, Docker or Time Machine snapshots?
macOS doesn't let App Store apps change these; Cachet shows the one step that frees each.
macOS doesn't let App Store apps change these. Cachet still shows how much space they use (where it can measure it) and the exact step that frees it: a Terminal command you can copy, or the right page in System Settings. Cachet never runs these commands itself.
When you come back to Cachet after the step, it scans again on its own so you can see the space you got back.
- Simulator devices
- Docker
- Time Machine snapshots
- Purgeable space
- iPhone and iPad backups
