What is dyld on Mac?
dyld is an abbreviation of dynamic link editor. Its job is to load dynamic frameworks, also known as dynamic libraries, when the apps that use them are launched. These dynamic frameworks allow apps to access and use the code within them without having to include the entire library in the application itself. This reduces the size of the application bundle. dyld also links the code in the libraries within the application itself and manages the names of variables and functions in libraries, making them available to the program. It’s a crucial part of macOS that allows apps to be more efficient and to launch more quickly. Deleting it would cause serious problems when you try to use your Mac.

Znači, folder ti je tim veći što imaš više aplikacija instaliranih (makar neke kasnije i obrisao, ali OS ne može znati koristi li neke dinamičke biblioteke samo jedna aplikacija ili više njih). Dakle, to ti je kao DLLovi na Windowsima.
Ako znaš što radiš možeš počistiti što se tamo nalazi na primjer na temelju kriterija posljednjeg pristupa. Znači, ako vidiš da je datum posljednjeg pristupa nekoj datoteci bio jako davno, možeš sa sigurnošću pretpostaviti da ona nije potrebna.
