The removal of captured screen images on macOS involves several methods, each suited to different user preferences and organizational needs. Users can manage these files directly from the desktop if the default saving location has not been altered, or from within the Finder application.
Efficiently managing and erasing these images is crucial for maintaining privacy, freeing up storage space, and ensuring organized file systems. Over time, accumulated screenshots can consume significant disk space, particularly if the images are high-resolution. Deleting unnecessary screen captures therefore contributes to system efficiency and protects sensitive data.
