Aug 05, 2017 Hi all, while doing some summer cleaning, I noticed a huge Library folder in my User part, a whooping 85GB one. Considering I have a 256GB SSD, it's taking up quite the space. The 'small' stuff is Safari as 1,3GB and Mail with 9GB, what do you think these are? Then I have Caches for 15GB.

To toggle this option on, simply open a new Finder window and go to your home folder. Then press Command-J or choose “Show View Options” from the View menu. When done, you should see an option to “Show Library Folder” among other view options, which can be checked to reveal the Library folder.
