Google Chrome is taking up 24GB on my Mac

[Seif Bassiouny]

Dear friends,

Chrome is taking up too much storage on my mac hard disk (24 gb), is this normal?

How do I go about reducing the storage, i use the application everyday.

I removed all unnecessary extensions and now have only 3 extensions running. any recommendation is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

no. Chrome on this Mac uses 742 MB. Version 96.something, last modified 3 Dec
2021. 24 GB is far too big.

Do you have Safari? if so, delete Chrome, download a new version direct from
Google, drive on.

Personally I’d just delete Chrome. I have it around just because, and
rarely use it. I mostly use Firefox. If I had a problem with Chrome it’d be
outtahere and FF or Safari or Brave or Vivaldi or any of a dozen others would
be running instead. (Not Edge. Never Edge. Microsoft would have to pay me
before I’d use Edge, and they can’t afford what I’d charge.)

Odds are that the application package has a problem. Google’s QA has
deteriorated recently, and wasn’t that great in the first place.

Have you checked to see how many versions the computer is holding? Right
click on the Chrome application and select "Show Package Contents". The
check the Versions folder. You have a lot old versions still in the folder

Why would Dustin need shills? He is the one who supplies facts for his side
of the "debates". Already moved on from that. Keep up!

Pothead shows this is an insomniac troll writing because some of them are
keyed in to posts that occur in very specific ways with clear thought behind
them. Which can only be Pothead.

Pothead's behavior is totally in all respects unfair. There is no dispute
that as soon as any recent 'filtered person' does one thing to wound the
little milksop's feelings that they will be ignored again. Nobody who isn't
just using you for nefarious ends (isn't a sock/shill) sees you as anything
remotely close to good. You have few but me to credit for that. Another
pint you mean, Pothead drinks them down damned quick.

It's easier to just delete Chrome.

... and reinstall it if you must. A lot faster than digging around to
find out how it b0rked itself and trying to fix it.

As YK said in another post, it's most likely that the main culprit is
the Versions folder within the app still retaining multiple old
unneeded versions of the app:

One possibility why it isn't deleting those old versions is if the app
has been moved to a sub-folder rather than just in Applications. For
some people moving it confuses the app (typical Google bad programming)
and the old versions just keep piling up inside the app's structure.


It could also depend on where that number is being obtained.

The Finder's Get Info for the app itself should be around 742MB, but if
you're using a storage analyser such as CleanMyMac's Uninstaller, then
it may be including the supporting files and folders within Library ...
and if you use Chrome a lot it can add quite a bit of local cache
files, etc. (I rarely use Chrome, but it has a further 91MB in
Application Support/Google and 27MB in Caches/Google.)

To ge rid of some of that excess external space-hogging, go into
Chrome's preferences and clear the caches and cookies in Privacy and
security, and the three areas in Auto-fill ... NOTE: Clearing these
will erase some website settings (e.g. YouTube's auto-play setting) and
log you out of websites, so you'll have to log in again.

Another possibility may also be extra extensions (you have already
cleaned) and themes that have been added, but I'm not sure where the
themes are stored.

Just rubbish from him. But Jeff Relf has thoroughly left reason behind
and is simply holding me culpable for the acts of himself. Your system
will crawl while downloading the mass of flood posts. So Jeff Relf changed
his story to responding to any sock of his. The one skill Jeff Relf learned
fully is to work to guilt Rbowman into submission and if that does not
work, troll-splain or completely change the assertion. Jeff Relf is the
only person I know who had a 'demo site' intended to dox me that quickly
turned into JavaScript errors with rectangles where pictures/animations
used to be, and if you hovered over it, you would be reading about a DMCA
that was deleted for slander.

[Dustin who does stuff with miceless computers]

You can say I am the Pope for all I care.

Various individuals who've known Troll Master Steve Carroll for quite a
while, and also have experience with him highly advise forgetting him to
get him to troll someplace else. As long as Snit and anyone else continues
to tickle his belly, he won't seek to be the focus of every thread someplace
else. Frankly I do not really give a shit. We're all sorry Troll Master Steve
Carroll's a paranoid, narcissistic, delusional liar but that's not gonna
change anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
