Still, it seems like I ought to be able to do more than that without constantly running out of space. Very little music (iTunes folder is 400 MB). The Documents folder (that houses all those exciting spreadsheets and my Quicken files) is 6.8GB. I don't often remove old messages, b/c I haven't found a straightforward way to easily clear out the detritus without also losing things I want to keep. Every few months, I clear out email and delete browser caches. That said, I lead a somewhat dull computing life. I don't doubt it, but it's what I could pay for, and so it's what I have.

Re: This Mac just doesn't have enough storage. OnyX sounds like it's not such a hideous little gremlin, but also not necessary. I've spent some time reading up on CleanMyMac and now feel that I should give my keyboard a bath. Is it possible that the OS has had a few meltdowns and, in the process, somehow created a whole bunch of junk files? I can't think what I could possibly have done to create that many files that quickly. Some dates have only a few files, but three of the dates have thousands - one date has nearly 5000 files, all with timestamps in a 37-minute range and another with 2300 files in just 2 minutes. There are 28 unique dates from then until today. (The most recent date/timestamp was from today, while I wasn't even in the room.) The datestamps on the files begin in Jan 2019. But the dates on the files in that folder don't correspond to anything in Messages. The "im" in the name "imagent" makes me think the folder relates to Messages. If I look at "cache" in Activity Monitor, it tells me there is zero activity, zero files. No documents, video, music, or other files. My iCloud usage is less than 5GB (I don't pay for any extra space) and it consists of Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Messages. I have turned off iCloud and signed out of my account: no change. Thanks for the reply, MrHoffman, though I'm still puzzled.
