If you are using macOS, you might be knowing that just like any other OS, it will also have temporary and cache files which will take up storage in your laptop. Over a period of time, these files might take up a considerable amount of space. You might need to clean up your macOS once in a while.

What is File Provider Folder? 

Introduced by Apple in macOS 12.1, File Provider provides native support for accessing cloud-based file systems like Google Drive. So in case you are Google Drive on macOS, this folder will be active. If you see that your applications folder is taking up storage, then it could be due to File Provider. 
File Provider Ingest Folder in macOS
The actual storage is not occupied by the application, but instead, it is occupied in the Applications folder. This folder is located at Library > Application Support > FileProvider > *random symbols* > wharf > wharf > ingest.
This ingest folder occupies a lot of storage, in my case, it was around 157GB.

This folder was occupying files due to Google Drive installed on my macOS. You can remove this by just opening Google Drive or any other cloud storage you have installed on your macOS. When you open Google Drive, the entire files are deleted automatically by macOS. In case it is not deleted, you can manually clear them. This is how you can clear the File Provider Ingest Folder in macOS.
