Ehh,…In exactly what way do you mean I don’t know what Im doing? Besides all the ways Ive tried to get rid of system data (I also have Google, you know) Can you please tell me one….just one…that actually works, since you seem to know it all. Didn’t you see the screenshot? almost 400GB of System File data. Is that normal, you think? Is that overthinking. Instead of being an asshole, why don’t you try to really help me instead…or maybe you can’t handle that you don’t kn0w either? There is nothing of what you have proposed that I haven’t tried at least four times already. This started with my last M1, mind you. I ve spend an endless amount of hours cleaning out my Macs from scratch, formatting and reinstalling the whole operating system, so why don’t you tune down your tone a little bit, will you.

Well, I’m running a MacBook Pro M2 2023 on Ventura and had exactly the same issue on my M1 2020 with Monterey, so I think this problem started with Monterey and have excelled with Ventura. Im not doing anything unusual…Im just installing the Toontrack downloader and then manage all the downloading and installing-processes from there….like you’re supposed to. When asked where to download I choose my external drives and in case I missed something I redirect it via “Preferences”. So the only thing that is strange is that it seems like the Mac needs to “make room” on the internal drive for the files even though the files are on an external drive…or something. I don’t know. That’s why I reached out to Apple support and they didn’t really know so they redirected me to this forum. Im not saying that I know that this is a Toontrack-problem.. it might as well be Apple…or perhaps booth. But I think they need to talk to each other….Or help me to get this right….since it’s impossible to erase system data except “Time Machine-stuff” and some other things, but I don’t even have Time Machine so….The only thing that makes a small change on the huge system file is when I erase all of Logics sound library.

My problem is, as I mentioned, that my storage goes bananas regarding System files, when I download SD3 and Keyscape even though I have directed them to my extern hard-drives. We’re talking 3-400 GB of system files…Which is a BIG problem since my hard drive is 512 GB. My system-files are on my internal drive. (It’s not that hard to handle the installation-process since the program asks where you would like to install your content.)

Hello again!

Thanks again for replying.

Im very much aware of all of that. I’ve redirected them via Preferences in the Toontrack menu. Everything works just fine…besides that my system data files becomes huge when installing SD3 and Keyscape….which also is directed to an external ssd….

Hello everyone!

I just bought “Superior drummer”. Should I uninstall all of my “EZ Drummer”-stuff, or is it “compadable” with “Superior drummer”? I can’t see any reason for keeping it since I bought SD3… Am I right? What do you lovely people think?
