What’s New in DaisyDisk 4.5
Extended support of the new Apple File System (APFS) on macOS High Sierra, in particular:
- You can now see the “purgeable space” the disk space taken by system backups and caches, which cannot be scanned, but can now be identified inside the “hidden space”.
- And you can now reclaim that “purgeable space”.
- Added display of the “free space” in the right sidebar list, along with the estimation of available space, that is, “free + purgeable”.
- Added display of the space taken by “other volumes” in the same APFS container, inside the “hidden space”.
