Other Users

[M915 Driver]

I have a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro with macOS 13.4.1 installed, 256 SSD, and 16 GB memory.
Yesterday while looking at Storage in the System Settings I noticed that Other Users was using 50 GB of space.
I am the only user of this MBP. What is this Other Users? Is there a way to eliminate it or reduce the sizeve?
This is only leaving 73GB of free space on my drive.
Thank you!

Open System Settings, then Users & Groups and you will see a list of all users. If you are an admin account, you can delete any user and the space that user takes will be freed up. To delete it, click on the circle with three dots on the right and then click on "Delete." I would, however, at least go see what that user has in their space, just in case it's something you forgot about that is important to you.

Thank you for responding.
I am the user listed in Users & Groups. Guest user is also listed, but it is turned off.

I found this on the internet.



This is und on my Mac. I check the info on each folder and it totals they the size of the Other Users space on my SSD.

One question, Do I dare to delete these folders??!!!!

Have you use Migration Assistant, if so I think these are duplicates of files migrated.

I did use Migration Assistant when I setup this MacBook back in April 2021.

Why not have a look inside each of those "previously relocated items" folders has Jake suggested previously and have a look and see if you need any of what might be inside???

If you need other assurances or suggestions on what to do, read through some of these hits:

I deleted the 4 relocated items folders. I shutdown the Mac and booted again. Everything seems to be ok.
Here are the before and after screenshots of the storage bar.
I would like to say Thank You again for all the help!!!!
