Your Mac will download the necessary system files to install a fresh copy of macOS 10.13 on your machine. Quit Disk Utility then choose ‘Reinstall macOS’ from the main menu. Once the utility loads, select ‘Macintosh HD’ from the box on the left then the ‘Erase’ button at the top. Click the arrow to continue, then on 'Disk Utility'. Next, restart your Mac holding ‘Command +r’. Save any personal data and make a full backup, ideally using Time Machine. If you have followed the previous steps but are still having issues with system speed of macOS 10.13, you can return your Mac to its factory settings. You can hover over these to delete or show them in Finder. Finally, the ‘Reduce Clutter’ option identifies any large files that you may no longer be using. Use the third option ‘Empty Trash Automatically’ to delete files that have been in the ‘Trash’ for more than 30 days. These can always be downloaded again at a later stage if needs be. From here you can remove any movies you have already watched.

The second option ‘Optimize Storage’ relates to iTunes or movie files that you have stored on your Mac. Any recently used files in your ‘Documents’ and ‘Desktop’ folders will be moved to iCloud. If you have fast and reliable internet connection, choose the ‘Store in iCloud’ button. Next, click on the ‘Storage’ tab, then select the ‘Manage’ button. Once of the ways to streamline your file usage is to go to ‘Apple>About this Mac’. Even though macOS 10.13 is very efficient when it comes to using files, as time goes by temporary data and third-party applications can decrease the speed of your machine.
