Hey Mac folks, have you ever used the sweet little app called "Grand Perspective”?
It's been in my toolkit of free and extremely useful tools for years.
It shows the files on a harddrive represented by large blocks... you can hover over them and see what they are.
The two biggest here are my iMovie Library (no “big” surprise) and iPhoto Library.
But there are also some I forgot about... like the Windows 11 partition (orange double block in the middle), or how big Civilization 6 is, (yellow on the right edge)
Love this app!!
