Somehow, MyCloud created an APFS logical volume on my MAC OS X laptop computer HD, and it is taking up a huge amount of space (350 gig) I don’t think this is supposed to happen! I think it is a problem from when WD Discovery was discontinued.

Massive APFS Volume called My Cloud (Offline) on my internal disk

Hello, It’s been there and reported since 3.7.x of end of March 2020… and remained with later versions. See here: https://community.wd.com/t/wd-discovery-3-7-214-huge-issues/249660/11?u=austinforest and there: https://community.wd.com/t/new-release-wd-discovery-3-7-214-my-cloud-home-desktop-app-sharing-feature/248755/12?u=austinforest It’s such a shame.

What is APFS Volume in Mac
Apple File System (APFS) is Apple’s answer to the issues caused by the traditional hard drive partition. In this, you can allocate disk space according to your need. Each of these partitions are called APFS containers (partition). If one container doesn’t have enough space, then it will share it with other individual volumes.
These volumes are clubbed into a set of volumes known as a volume group, each containing one volume for system files and another for data. In simpler terms, each volume as a separate partition.
