iCloud Drive on Mac is taking up space on HD
You need to enable Optimize Mac Storage in iCloud Drive settings. After enabling this, you may have to speed it up by right clicking on large folders or files and clicking Remove Download.

Open System Preferences &gt; iCloud and check the box labeled Optimize Mac Storage.
To speed the process, find a folder you wish to remove from your local storage and right click it. Choose &quot;Remove Download.&quot;
