Delve vs OmniDiskSweeper
Choose a visual overview when you need to discover a pattern. Choose a sorted list when you already know how you want to browse.
Khaos Studios makes Delve. This comparison draws on the official product documentation linked below.
OmniDiskSweeper presents files and folders by size in a browsing interface. Delve presents storage as a treemap or sunburst, with file previews and a Collector. Both can help you decide which files you no longer need.
OmniDiskSweeper is free. Delve offers a 14-day free trial, then $4.99 once or free access through referrals. It requires macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon.

The Omni Group’s current product page describes Trash and open actions. Older releases can behave differently, so check the version you install.
A list works well when names carry the context: old installers in Downloads, exported videos in a project folder, or archives you have already backed up. Open a large folder, inspect its children, and follow the size totals down to the files.
You may not need a separate utility at all for a single familiar folder. Finder’s list view and size column can help. Our large-file guide starts with the tools already on your Mac.
A list tells you the order; a treemap tells you the shape. A large folder can contain one enormous file or thousands of smaller ones. A treemap makes that difference visible. A sunburst shows how nested folders contribute to the total. That broader view can help when you do not yet know where to start.
Choose OmniDiskSweeper for a free list-based workflow. Try Delve if you want a visual overview and a place to gather cleanup candidates before moving them to the Trash. Prefer the view that helps you recognize your own files.
Confirm the file’s full location and whether another app depends on it before removal. Use an app’s own storage controls for managed libraries and backups. A large item is a lead to investigate, not a recommendation to delete it.
