Everything you need to know about Full Disk Access, Trash-first safety, APFS storage scanning, and developer cache intelligence.
Yes, Full Disk Access (FDA) is optional but recommended. On modern macOS (Sonoma, Sequoia), Apple restricts apps from reading directory sizes inside ~/Library/Application Support, Xcode developer directories, and Docker storage. Granting FDA in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access allows DiskWarren to calculate exact folder sizes across your entire Mac. You remain in total control and can revoke FDA at any time.
