I've taken the decision once again to remove the ClonedFiles but I can see already that more are starting to creep back.Īm I missing the point of iCloud's "remove download" feature? ALL of my folders on my Mac have the cloud-arrow download icon next to them, and as sometimes they 'fib' a bit, I've checked that the "on disk" values don't show some cheeky files refusing to go away. It got to around 90GB and I decided to stop iCloud Drive by turning it off, doing a check of the online version at and then, when I was confident there were no unnecessary files there, turn it back on.Īll good, but then I came back a couple of hours later it was down from around 600GB to 92GB of free HD space. I did this and saw my HD space return more or less to normal, but then once again started depleting. I ran an app called DaisyDisk and found that several huge (70GB) files were sat in the ClonedFiles folders, but when reading briefly online about them I found articles that said they were mostly harmless and you could delete them. I have some large files in that iCloud Drive, but nearly all of is stored on iCloud, or at least that is what I've always done and never seemed to have an issue. However, recently I noticed that my available HD space was steadily going down, and when it got to around 200GB I needed to find out why. I have a 1TB M1 Max MBP, and had previously enjoyed most of that as free storage space (700+GB).
