With the introduction of macOS Sierra, Apple introduced a new feature called “Store in iCloud.” Somewhat self explanatory based on the name, this feature does indeed upload files to iCloud when you are running low on storage. Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner. The best way to get a sense of how much you need is to determine how much you are currently using. Like the MacBook models, upgrades max at $200, $400 and $800 respectively. With some upgrades, you can max out memory at 2TB with 512GB and 1TB storage sizes landing in the middle.

On the 27” model, the base model is stuck at 256GB while the more premium versions with faster processors and more RAM begin at 512GB and work their way up to 8TB for $2,400.įinally, the last consumer Mac hardware is the Mac Mini, which begins at 256GB of base storage. The Fusion Drive is something of a hybrid, where apps will load from the SSD portion of the drive, but storage rests on the spinning drive, which can lead to slower performance overall. If performance is your biggest consideration, the SSD should be your preferred option. On the iMac side, specifically the 21.5” model, you can look at the 256GB SSD “base” model as the best entry point with a 1TB Fusion Drive option available for no additional charge. Storage starts off with 512GB SSD on the “base” model with upgrades ranging from 1TB to 8TB with the latter costing upwards of $2,400.
Things get a little more interesting with the 16” MacBook Pro, which has yet to receive the M1 processor upgrade. Similar to the Air, storage can be upgraded to 512GB, 1TB and 2TB SSD of storage for the same prices as noted above.

I did place a comment on the AVG website about this matter, anybody having this same problem please do the same, maybe they will have an easy fix soon.The 13” MacBook Pro retains similar sizing as before with a 256GB SSD of storage standard when combined with the M1 chip. Once deleted, my disk usage went to it’s normal usage immediately, about 1/2 my disk size and has remained there ever since – ‘so far’.

Plus do not allow it to reinstall during the next update. The uninstall will not complete until it does that. After it begins, you need to turn WiFi back on because this is one of those uninstalls that takes you to their page asking “Why are you deleting me, tell us why?”. I then began the uninstall with WiFi still off. Again, I used CCleaner – free, not because it is fancy, it just puts several applications I use all in the same place.

I then deleted some very large files & emptied my recycle bin just to make a little free space on my hard drive, (I deleted some old videos). Not sure if Tomek had or is having the same problem I did, but I have an always on WiFi, I temporarily turned it off because all my free space filled up as fast as I deleted items. One good thing, I actually backed up ALL my files finally.

Now Windows 10 may be the problem with a bug, so if you do not have AVG, it may be another ” Search Toolbar”, I think AVG’s is hosted by the “ASK Toolbar”. Once out, my disk usage went back to it’s previous amount, about half my drive size. Took forever because I had virtually zero disk space left. Just take it out with Windows using ‘settings’ or I used ‘CCleaner’. AVG AV itself has been good to me for many, many years, just the Web Tuneup was bad. Looking further I saw a recurring file, AVG Web Tuneup, (neshdesign above was on the right track). Confusing at first, it showed my “User/APPS/” file taking up all free space on my hard drive. I came across this program “TreeSize Free” that list all files and what they take up.
I disabled the toolbar a long while back, but never deleted the Web Tuneup program itself.Īfter hours of moving and saving files before they got lost to what I thought was a virus and searching online for answers and running every malware program I could find. In my case it was AVG Web Tuneup which also had a search toolbar. I had this same issue, unsure, but think it started soon after a Win 10 update.
