SOUND FAMILIAR?
Where the space goes.
Downloads become a landfill.
Every DMG, ZIP, PDF and installer you ever needed once is still sitting there.
Deadlines don’t wait.
A full disk at submission time slows everything down. Clearing space shouldn’t risk your assignments.

Know before you make room.
Is the scan really free?
Yes. The full scan, every finding and the total you could recover are free. You only pay if you want spacerecover to clean up for you.
Will it delete my assignments or documents?
No. Personal files are never selected automatically. Large documents are only shown so you can decide, and anything removed goes to the Trash first.
How much space can I expect to get back?
It depends entirely on how you use your Mac. The free scan shows your own number before you pay anything.
