How do I clear more space on Mac and delete the incomplete download from App Store

first of all, take a look at your file system and how much space they occupy. type this command in a terminal:

Remove the indesirable files

du -sh *

then remove the files that you don’t need

rm -rf <directory-name>
or
rm file-name

Remove The caches.

type this command in a terminal:

cd ~/Library/Caches

clear the purgeable area

create a huge file that will force macOS to clean purgeable files to free you space. type this command in a terminal:

dd if=/dev/zero of=~/hugefile bs=15m

It will create a file called hugefile in your home folder

This command takes a long time to allocate the memory, you can also stop it when it’s 5~10GB and duplicate the file CommandD to create copies and speed up the process.

Then, you just need to delete the files, obviously.

rm hugefile

That’s it :) … ˆ-ˆ
