hello,
I just did a complete "clean up" and reinstalled creative cloud, to fix some issues, those issues got fixed, but now I have different problem - indesign keeps quitting on me.
I am wondering if there is enough space on my computer. Please find a screenshot of available space and a screenshare.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with InDesign. Let's try to get this resolved for you.
Could you please provide the following details:

You need to update that operating system. Apple fixed a lot of problems with later releases of Ventura.
Please note that there are a lot of reported issues with 20.01 and many Mac users are electing to roll back to InDesign 19.5 (2024)

Try resetting your InDesign preferences. This will restore the program to its defaults. Hopefully, this will fix the issue.
To reset preferences on a Macintosh:
The User Library folder in which InDesign’s preferences are stored is hidden by default on most Macintoshes. To access it make sure that InDesign is closed and click on the desktop to launch a Finder Window (Command-N). With this window in column view follow the path User>Home folder (it’s the folder with an icon that looks like a house—it may have the user’s name rather than “Home”) and click on the Home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. “Library” will now appear within the Home folder. Within the Library folder find the folder called Preferences and within it find the folder called “Adobe InDesign” and the file called “com.adobe.InDesign.plist” and delete both that folder and that file. When InDesign is next launched it will create new preference files and the program will be restored to its defaults. The advantage of manually deleting preference files in this manner is that after you’ve reset up the program (make sure that no document window is open) to your liking, you can create copies of your personalized “mint” preference files (make sure that you quit the program before copying them—that finalizes your customization) and use them in the future to replace any corrupt versions you may need to delete.
If this does not work then you can also try using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html for details.
