How to increase memory space before Mac upgrade macOS Big Sur? The macOS Big Sur system occupies a portion of the memory space. I want to clear the memory to free up some space before upgrading. What should I do? Let's take a look at the detailed tutorial below, and friends who need it can refer to it.
method one:
1. Understand the usage of Mac system storage space. In the Mac system, usually we can click on the Apple menu (that is, Apple’s logo)-"About This Machine", and then click on "Storage", you can clearly see the various files displayed on the Mac and the occupied Memory size, as shown in the figure.
2. Click "Manage", we can delete management according to different file types.
Method Two:
Use a professional Apple computer cleaning software to solve this problem. Software like CleanMyMac supports system garbage cleaning function, one-click intelligent cleaning, and saves time and effort. At the same time, this Apple cleanup tool can better manage files, free up storage space, and alleviate computer freezes.
CleanMyMac X for Mac (mac system cleaning tool) supports Big Sur
In the face of memory crisis, you can use CleanMyMac to manage system space as follows:
1. Clean up old garbage and learn to free up space
System garbage mostly includes user cache files, language files, system log files, etc. These junk files usually cannot be cleaned up uniformly, and invisibly occupy a large amount of memory space. However, using a system cleaning tool like CleanMyMac can free up space quickly and efficiently.
Click " System Junk " in CleanMyMac to scan. After the scan is completed, we will see the results of the scan appear on the right side of the interface, click "Clean" to complete all the cleanup work.
If we want to clean up selectively, we can click " View Items ", tick the files we want to remove, and click " Remove " again .
2. Delete unnecessary applications and improve the running speed of Mac
We often ignore many infrequently used applications in the system. Most of these applications are outdated and not used frequently. CleanMyMac can be used to clear them all at once, thereby improving the Mac's operating speed and alleviating the problem of memory tension.
The " Uninstaller " function in CleanMyMac can help users detect the number of applications installed in the system.
Click "View N applications" to enter the operation interface. Check the program you want to uninstall and click the "Uninstall" button at the bottom of the interface.
3. Scan for malware and viruses in Mac
When the Mac is poisoned or there is malicious software that infringes the system security, we will find that the system runs very slowly. The reason is that they occupy more memory.
CleanMyMac can provide services to scan for malicious software. Just click the "Remove Malware" button on the interface, and CleanMyMac can conduct a deep inspection of the Mac to find all types of vulnerabilities. If there is malicious software, CleanMyMac will give us a prompt, and then delete it.
The above is the operation method to increase the memory space of the old Mac who wants to upgrade to macOS Big Sur. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
