+echo "✅ YOUR ONLY OPTIONS:"
+echo ""
+echo "1. **Contact Apple Support** (RECOMMENDED)"
+echo "   Phone: 1-800-275-2273"
+echo "   Explain: 'OS update snapshot preventing space recovery'"
+echo "   They have system-level tools we don't have access to"
+echo ""
+echo "2. **Try GUI Update** (Sometimes works differently)"
+echo "   System Settings → General → Software Update"
+echo "   Click 'Update Now'"
+echo "   GUI sometimes bypasses space checks"
+echo ""
+echo "3. **Boot from Recovery** (Advanced)"
+echo "   - Restart holding Command+R"
+echo "   - Try updating from Recovery Mode"
+echo "   - May have different space requirements"
+echo ""
+echo "4. **Wait for Automatic Cleanup** (Unreliable)"
+echo "   macOS may eventually clear old snapshots"
+echo "   But this can take weeks/months"

+
+echo "📊 Current Situation:"
+echo ""
+echo "  Files moved: ✅ (Safe on NAS/external drive)"
+echo "  Space freed: ❌ (Snapshot preserving them)"
+echo "  System Data: 📈 (351GB+ and growing)"
+echo "  Free space: ${FREE_SPACE_GB}GB (not enough)"
+echo ""
+
+echo "⚠️  IMPORTANT:"
+echo ""
+echo "Your files ARE safe. The space WILL be freed after updating."
+echo "But you're in a system-level catch-22 that requires"
+echo "Apple Support intervention or advanced recovery methods."
