Also, there is an alternate "Recommend" minimum amount when macOS is installed.īelow is an example of the output from the above command. Normally, you can subtract the minimum about from the maximum to get the free space that can be allocated for Windows. Note: This command does not change the computer in any way. diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk0s2 limits Here, I have assumed you are using a single internal drive with just macOS installed. The amount of free space that can be allocated to run Windows can be determined by entering the following command in a Terminal application window. I'm pretty sure I have 100 GB of free storage, because I removed dozens of GB of photos and apps. As if some cached values were used while the Mac is updating the folder sizes.
But after 2-3 minutes, this number changes to about 100 GB. I tried to find "hidden files", that could cause this difference, using the Disk Inventory X app, but it shows 100 GB of free storage.Īnother strange thing that happened: after I restart the computer, the status bar at the end of the finder shows 33 GB of free storage. I also used Onyx utility to free up some more space, empty caches, etc. The trash is empty, and I restarted my computer twice. However, the Disk Utility shows only 33 GB of free storage. So I freed up some space by removing some files, and "About My Mac" now shows almost 100 GB of free space on my Mac:

I'm in the process of installing Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro (macOS 10.13.4/17E202, 256 GB of storage, no partition), but Boot Camp says I need at least 40 GB of storage.
