Check out DaisyDisk. It shows how much space is “purgable” (cache files like this, etc).

I love DaisyDisk. Easily one of my top 20 apps of all time.

  I agree! It's worth paying for for the time and the disk space it helps you save. Beautiful visual and UX design.

    Why pay to delete stuff? Free tools in the OS do that already.

      Yeah for sure, but this tool is really good for helping you visualize and discover what's eating up your storage, better than anything built in to any of the OSes that I use anyways.

Disk Inventory X is a nagware alternative: http://derlien.com http://derlien.com .

  Or Filelight, which is free! https://apps.kde.org/filelight/ https://apps.kde.org/filelight/

      The source is available (https://invent.kde.org/utilities/filelight https://invent.kde.org/utilities/filelight), and there's a chance it'll build on macOS. I haven't tried, though (and am not the original recommender).

        No reason it shouldn't work on MacOS, a lot of KDE/Qt projects compile fine without any additional changes. But yes, if you're on Mac it's probably easier to buy Daisy Disk.

  Grandperspective has the same look as disk inventory x but I found it to be significantly faster. I haven’t noticed any nag screens but I didn’t when using disk inventory x either so I might just be immune to them. https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/

    You can also buy Grandperspective from the app store for a few dollars to help support the overall development.

  Wow, that screenshot of it is on Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. EXIF says it was taken 2004-12-06. They've been maintaining that little app for a long time.

    Yep! I first encountered it in Tiger, and, unlike most of my favourite apps from that time, it's kept going strong.
