How much space did ClearDisk recover for you?

[bysiber]

We're curious how much space ClearDisk has helped you recover!

Share your numbers:

• How much total space did ClearDisk find across all your caches?
• Which cache was the biggest surprise? (Xcode DerivedData? node_modules? Docker?)
• What Mac and storage size are you on? (e.g., M2 MacBook Air 256GB)

My Numbers

On my M1 MacBook Pro (512GB):

Cache	Size Found
Xcode DerivedData	18.4 GB
node_modules (across ~30 projects)	22.1 GB
Docker	31.2 GB
Homebrew cache	4.8 GB
CocoaPods	2.3 GB
pip/Python	1.7 GB
Total	~80 GB

That's 15% of my entire disk recovered in one click.

Even if your numbers are small, we'd love to see them. It helps us understand which caches matter most and prioritize future features.

Saved 3.3GB, seems to work well so far. The labelling is a nice touch.

Hey, here’s what ClearDisk found on my Mac and external hard drive 🤓

Once I noticed a huge chunk of space had “disappeared” from my hard drive, I started digging into what was actually occupying it and how to get rid of it all at once. That’s where ClearDisk (after some fine-tuning for my Mac and external drive) came to the rescue. 😉

• Total: ~261 GB cleaned
• Biggest surprise: node_modules (246.8 GB across 7 projects – one project alone was 97 GB!)
• Mac: 2019 MacBook Pro, 512GB

My Numbers

Cache	Size Found
node_modules (across 7 projects)	246.8 GB
storybook-static	1.2 GB
dist / build	0.6 GB
Python .venv	0.2 GB
Other cleans	12.6 GB
Total	~261 GB

That's 51% of my entire disk recovered in one click. 😂
