Description of issue

I’m curious about the reason behind the unusually large size of the directory /opt/homebew. It occupies approximately 18GB of space, which is significant considering my MacBook Pro has a relatively small SSD. I’d like to know if it’s possible to delete the files within this directory.

The screenshot suggests that 10 gb is your MySQL database so clearing that out will help a lot
