Purgeable space #

By default, iStat Menus hides purgeable space, so the values match the macOS Finder. “Purgeable space” contains files that macOS can and might delete if additional space is needed. Those files can include files stored in iCloud, certain large fonts, and other items.

If you’d like iStat Menus to match Disk Utility, rather than Finder, set the purgeable space setting to hidden on the disks tab.

Resetting hidden disks #

To reset all hidden disks, choose Reset Disk Filtering from the Stats menu in iStat Menus.
