Clean up Unnecessary Files on Mac Easily with an App

If you work daily with your Mac for many hours, surely in the end you store a large number of files that only take up space on your hard drive. That is why sometimes we must dedicate some time to maintain our computer and clean it, because in the end if you have a small space you will end up having problems.

The native tool for cleaning on macOS

Apple natively includes a tool to be able to clean computers, especially to track those most voluminous files in order to eliminate them. To access this we simply go to the top and click on the block. Once here we will have to select the option ‘About this Mac …’ , and then we will select the ‘Storage’ tab. In this window we can see in a detailed way how much the applications or documents occupy, and this is why we will select the ‘Manage’ option.

In the window that opens we will have a series of options available to do this file cleaning. For example, we can make the trash empty automatically after 30 days and also optimize the storage of Apple TV . But without a doubt the most interesting option is the last one that allows us to analyze the largest files on our Mac in order to eliminate them. In addition, the necessary information will be given to determine if we want to delete them or not, since we will be able to see the last time we open them to know if it is something important or if we have completely forgotten it.

Clean My Mac, a complete tool for cleaning

But unfortunately with this native tool we cannot do an in-depth cleaning of our Mac, especially at the level of internal files. In order to carry out this task we have to resort to others such as Clean My Mac, which is a tremendously complete app. As soon as it is run, it will perform an analysis of all the files that we have on the hard disk to determine which ones are expendable and will automatically be deleted.

We must emphasize especially the cache, which are temporary files that are generated automatically when we open an application on our computer. In the end this is garbage that is leaving our activity on the computer and that has no specific function. Well, it has the function of disturbing since it will occupy a very valuable space in our equipment that we can take advantage of in another way. This is why Clean My Mac will do all the dirty work for us.

But it does not stop here, since it also offers us other interesting tools such as releasing the RAM that is not being used. And of course it will always stay in the background, if we want, to be able to give us little tips that will help us have a well-maintained computer.

As we said at the beginning, this is a highly recommended tool especially if you have a 256 GB or less hard drive. In these cases it can end up saturating files relatively quickly and in the end it is quite frustrating.
