Mac System Data

So I removed the files form “/Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer” but it keeps getting downloading back. Is there any way to stop the downloads?

My Mac suddenly ran out of storage space. In the “System Settings” > “General” > “Storage”, “System Data” was over 100GB.

Found the issue: “Wallpaper” at /Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd downloaded tons of 4K 240fps videos.

  1. Turn off the “Wallpaper” feature in System Settings, I set the pure black color as the wallpaper.
  2. Delete these files
/Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/ /Library/Application Support/com.apple.TVIdleScreen/ ${HOME}/Library/Application Support/com.apple.wallpaper/Store/Index.plist

  1. Restart the Mac.

Storage space recovered.
