202 GB in "com.apple.bird"

I've read that com.apple.bird, is a part of icloud on Mac but mine is 202GB!! is taking a lot of my iMac space. Can anyone help me?
Some say it is not safe to delete this cache, but I need to find a way to clean this one up. Thanks.


To find out exactly what is taking up the space, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Finder
  2. Press and hold the option key while you click on the Go menu
  3. Select Library
  4. You can let go of the option key now
  5. Within the Library folder open the Caches folder
  6. Now you'll see a com.apple.bird folder

Now you can browse within this folder to determine what's taking up the space.

If you happen to have WhatsApp installed and it's taking up a lot of the space, then refer to my answer to this question
