A folder called "4KSDR240FPS" takes up more than 40 GB on my mac's storage after installing Mac OS sonoma. Is it safe to delete?
(sh.itjust.works)
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?
Those are the dynamic Wallpapers:

Why are wallpapers over 40 GB? If I'm not using these wallpapers (I've been using use solar gradients since it came out) can I delete them (I have space to make a backup of them if I need to)?
Its those video screensavers that transition into wallpapers. I had no idea they were there if you did not use them. Maybe make a backup then delete and see if anything breaks.
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
