This tool frees up Apple Intelligence storage on macOS, but think twice before using it
A new open-source tool lets Mac users reclaim 12GB or more of storage by removing Apple Intelligence features, but caution is advised.
According to 9to5Mac, a new open-source tool is rapidly going viral for offering Mac users a way to bypass Apple Intelligence and reclaim 12GB or more of storage space. The utility is specifically targeted at individuals who have no interest in using the built-in AI capabilities and want to clear up disk space on their computers.
With modern operating systems increasingly relying on large AI models, system storage can quickly become cluttered. For Mac owners with lower storage configurations, the disk space occupied by Apple Intelligence files can be quite significant, making such storage-clearing tools seem very appealing at first glance.
However, experts and tech analysts suggest thinking twice before running these third-party scripts. Forcibly removing or disabling deep system-level AI components could potentially interfere with future macOS updates, system stability, or break other features that depend on those underlying frameworks.
For tech users in Uzbekistan and the broader region dealing with entry-level Mac configurations, storage optimization is always a hot topic. Yet, modifying core system files with unverified third-party tools always carries risks, making a full data backup and careful consideration essential before proceeding.
