Remember, this is the *default* location. If you installed Bitcoin a long time ago, you may have chosen another folder somewhere else... For example, mine was in `~/Documents/Bitcoin`

The Bitcoin wallet on Mac OS X is located in `~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat`.

[Mac OS X v10.7](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion) (Lion) came out, and it has the `~/Library` folder hidden, see the [answer from username_1](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/5293/108) to access it with Finder.

In order to see hidden folders, such as `~/Library` from Finder, simply hit `shift + ⌘ (command) + G` which will GO to a folder, then paste in this location:

```
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin

```

From there, you will see all the files associated with your wallet.

Having moved all my BTC to another location, I recovered more than 5 GB of storage space by deleting my local wallet.
