Running out of space with macOS Tahoe Developer Beta.

Earlier this afternoon I was about to update to the latest developer beta. Finder indicated that I had 12GB free, so I did some house cleaning and improved that to 21GB.

I downloaded the beta and have had nothing but problems since.

Mail complained:

Mail cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit Mail and delete any files you don't need. Then open Mail again.

Quit

Restarted computer. Same problem.

Opened Feedback Assistant. Tried to create a new ticket and got:

The operation couldn't be completed. (NSSQLiteErrorDomain error 13.)

Finder indicates 589MB free (New beta taking up 20GB after update???).

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Beta releases may take additional disk space to help with testing and bug reporting. macOS Tahoe is also expected to take more space with respect to the UI updates.

That said, it sounds like you've get more house cleaning to do or need to consider restoring shipping software.

Disk space is a hard limit.

If you chose to make more disk space available please take a moment to report this issue with the Feedback Assistant.
