DaisyDisk for Mac is a powerful and intuitive disk space analysis tool. It visualizes disk usage through stunning sunburst charts, helping users quickly locate and manage files and folders that take up large amounts of space, thereby efficiently freeing up storage. This guide will introduce its core functions and complete operation process in detail. Whether you are a Mac novice or a seasoned user, mastering this tool will make your disk management effortless. Many friends are often at a loss when Mac storage space is low, and DaisyDisk is the perfect tool to solve this pain point.

I. Core Interface and Workspace Details

After launching DaisyDisk, its interface is mainly divided into the following core areas:

  1. Scan Target Selection Panel: Located in the center or left side of the main window, listing all analyzable disk volumes (such as “Macintosh HD”) and common folders (such as “Applications”, “Users”).
  2. Visual Analysis Chart (Main Workspace): After scanning, the interface switches to a colorful concentric sunburst chart. This is the core of DaisyDisk.
    • Sectors: Each sector represents a file or folder. The larger the area, the more space it occupies.
    • Colors: Different colors represent different types of files or different directory levels for easy distinction.
    • Center Ring: Usually represents the directory level currently being browsed.
  3. Path Navigation Bar: Located at the top of the window, displaying the full file path of the current location in the chart. You can click any part of the path to jump quickly.
  4. File List Panel: Located on the right side or bottom of the window (adjustable). Displays all items under the currently selected sector (directory) in a list format, including name, size, percentage, and other detailed information.
  5. Collector Panel: A “trash” icon area located in the lower right corner of the window. Used to temporarily store files planned for deletion, facilitating batch preview and operations.
  6. Toolbar: Contains common function buttons such as “Rescan”, “Show in Finder”, “Quick Look”, “Delete”, etc.

II. Complete Operation Process: From Analysis to Cleanup

1. Launch and Select Scan Target

Steps:

  1. Launch the DaisyDisk application.
  2. In the main interface, click the disk volume you want to analyze (e.g., Macintosh HD) or a specific folder (e.g., Users).
  3. Click the “Scan” button in the lower right corner, or double-click the target directly.

2. Browse and Analyze Disk Space

After scanning is complete, you will enter the visual analysis chart interface.

How to Operate:

  • Drill Down: Hover the mouse over a colored sector to display its name and size. Click the sector to “drill down” into that folder and view its detailed composition.
  • Go Back: Click the blank area inside the center ring, or use the shortcut ⌘ + [ to return to the previous directory.
  • Quick Preview Files: Select a file in the sunburst chart or the right list, and press Space to invoke macOS’s “Quick Look” for preview.
  • Locate in Finder: After selecting an item, click the “Show in Finder” button in the toolbar or press the shortcut ⌘ + R to open its location in Finder.

3. Mark and Collect Files for Deletion

Steps:

  1. In the sunburst chart or file list, find large files or folders that you think can be deleted.
  2. Drag them to the “Collector” panel (trash icon) in the lower right corner. Alternatively, select the item and click the “Move to Collector” button in the toolbar.
  3. Repeat this operation to collect all items to be deleted together. You can click the “Collector” panel to view the list of all collected items and the total size.
Tip: Moving files to the collector is only a mark and does not delete them immediately. This provides you with a chance for secondary confirmation to avoid accidentally deleting important data.

4. Review and Final Deletion

Steps:

  1. Click the “Collector” panel in the lower right corner and carefully review each file in the list to ensure no important data is mistakenly selected.
  2. You can still use Space to preview files here, or press ⌘ + R to locate in Finder.
  3. After confirmation, click the “Delete” button on the collector panel.
  4. DaisyDisk will pop up a final confirmation dialog asking for the deletion method (move to Trash or permanently delete). After choosing, click “Delete” to complete the cleanup.
Warning: Choosing “Permanently Delete” will bypass the Trash and directly erase files. This operation is irreversible, please be cautious.

5. Rescan and Export Report

  • Rescan: After cleanup, click the “Rescan” button on the far left of the toolbar (or press ⌘ + R) to quickly update the disk analysis chart and see the freed space.
  • Export Report: To share analysis results, click the menu bar “File” → “Export Chart as Image…” to save the current sunburst chart as a PNG image.

III. Advanced Tips for Common Functions

  1. Quickly Scan Common Locations: In the scan target panel of the main interface, in addition to disks, the system’s common “Applications” and “Users” directories are listed separately for quick targeted analysis.
  2. Use “Focus” Filtering: There is a search box at the top of the file list panel. Enter keywords to quickly filter files in the current directory, which is very useful when analyzing large “Users” directories.
  3. Multi-select Operations: In the file list panel, you can hold ⌘ and click multiple non-contiguous items, or hold ⇧ and click the first and last items for continuous multi-selection, then drag them all into the collector at once.
  4. Analyze External Disks and Network Storage: After mounting external hard drives or network storage connected to the Mac (such as NAS), they will automatically appear in DaisyDisk’s initial scan target list. The analysis method is exactly the same as for internal disks.
  5. Ignore Specific Folders: For system caches or specific directories that you do not want to see in every scan, you can exclude them from analysis (this function may need to be adjusted in settings).

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Scanning is very slow 1. The disk being scanned is extremely large with many files.
2. Scanning a network drive with unstable network.
3. Mac system resources (CPU/memory) are tight.		 1. Be patient, or scan specific subfolders (such as “Movies”).
2. Ensure stable network connection, or disconnect network drive scanning.
3. Close other resource-intensive applications.
Some folders cannot be accessed (shown as lock icon) The folder is protected by System Integrity Protection (SIP) or has strict permission settings, and the current user account has no access rights. This is normal. DaisyDisk respects system permissions. Usually these are core system files and are not recommended for ordinary users to delete. Please focus on analyzing user folders you have permission to access.
Space is not immediately freed after deleting files 1. Files were moved to Trash and not permanently deleted.
2. Some application (such as Mail, iPhoto) library files exist as “packages”. After deleting internal items, space may be marked as reusable but the file size is not immediately reduced.		 1. Empty the Trash.
2. For application libraries, it is recommended to manage them within their applications (e.g., delete emails within Mail App). For standalone large files identified by DaisyDisk, deletion effects are immediate.
Cannot drag files into the collector The selected item may be a protected system file or a file in use. DaisyDisk will prevent operations on critical system files. Please select files you created or downloaded from the network for operations.
Software prompts for accessibility permissions To scan certain system-protected directories, DaisyDisk requires macOS accessibility permissions. Go to “System Preferences” -> “Security & Privacy” -> “Privacy” -> “Accessibility” and check DaisyDisk. This is a macOS security mechanism, please authorize with confidence.
Scan results do not match actual space There may be hidden files (such as .DS_Store) or system snapshots (Time Machine local snapshots) not fully counted. DaisyDisk scans most visible and hidden files by default. If you find a large discrepancy, try restarting your Mac and rescanning to clear temporary caches.
How to recover accidentally deleted files If “Move to Trash” was selected during deletion, they can be recovered from the Trash. If “Permanently Delete” was selected, recovery is more difficult. It is recommended to always use the collector function for secondary confirmation before deletion. For permanently deleted files, you can try third-party data recovery software, but success depends on whether the files have been overwritten.
How to switch the software interface language DaisyDisk supports multiple languages, but switching requires modifying system language preferences. Go to “System Preferences” -> “Language & Region” and set the preferred language to “Simplified Chinese”, then restart DaisyDisk. If you do not want to change the system language, you can look for language options in the software preferences.
