I am trying to clean system data but unable to

I have a lot of system data files I am trying to clean them, but I can't identify them, already cleared cache, system log files, looked for time machine files but nothing is working, system data hasn't diminished...



Anyone got any concrete ideas, and what can I try?

Thanks.

Try one of the several Utilities in this article. You find the biggest Boat Anchor sized items and (if appropriate) get rid of them.


It take a quarter hour or so for any of these to paw through everything and generate a report, and Admin and additional permission WILL be required.
