After installing Mac OS sonoma for a few weeks my mac quickly ran out of storage. I did a scan using cleanmymac and found this huge folder in /Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer/:

I opened the folder and found it full of high-quality landscape videos, which is probably used for screen savers. Would anything go wrong if I delete everything in the folder and use the old screen saver?

I'll try that. Still I don't understand why is anyone willing to spend 40+ GB on their disks just to get a cool wallpaper/screen saver combo, I think a better design would be streaming the screen savers from apple's servers, it would be unavailable without an internet connection but it's better than wasting 40 GB on the disk
