I copied files from the two external hard drives plugged into the mac and found that the internal hard drive of the mac was full

The following path was found through Disk Utility
/Users/tokangaroo/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.coreservices.useractivityd/shared-pasteboard/archives
There are two files in the archives folder that occupy 195 G. May I ask the bosses, what file is this and can it be deleted

Go to System Settings > General > Airplay and Relay > General Clipboard and turn off the relevant options (if any). This directly prevents cross-device synchronization functionality and reduces directory writes.

Poster May 16, 2025Solved, it's clipboard cache, but why do I have successfully copied from one external hard disk to another external hard disk, and after restarting, the clipboard still occupies such a large cache

Anonymous8464 May 16, 2025@ Poster This is a relay cache. If the iPhone/iPad gets the clipboard information when you copy this oversized file, it will be saved.

Anonymous687 May 16, 2025Before macOS 15.4, shared-pasteboard was under/var. When 15.4 moved its position, it will be full when it should be full. The method is to copy and paste a plain text immediately after copying and pasting, so that the cache will not be generated here. Or delete it manually... Ancestral bugs that no one cares about belong to yes.

Anonymous2130 May 16, 2025It seems that it is better to drag the copy file directly

Anonymous8464 May 16, 2025@ Anonymous687 It seems that the condition for triggering caching is that it has been "pasted" on other devices. If an app on the iPhone reads the clipboard for no reason, it will be cached. Even if you find a plain text and copy and paste it later, it will not be removed, but a new file will be created...
