Clean Me For Mac

If your Mac comes with limited storage, which is often the case for lower-spec Macbooks, disk space is a valuable asset. It is not uncommon for certain applications to store files and logs that are unnecessary but are difficult to access, and even the cache data generated by some programs sometimes needs to be removed.

Clean Me is a very straightforward app that lets you find this potentially unneeded content and remove it in a couple of steps. It is lightweight, open-source and remarkably simple to use.

First of all, you will need to analyze your storage in order to see which types of items are taking up the most space. You may find that things like downloads, temporary files or saved mail attachments are to blame, and you can generally remove them without a second thought.

Of course, for other types of files, you may have to think twice before deleting them. Cache data, for instance, is necessary for applications to run faster, and it will be generated again when you launch the app that created it in the first place. If it's a program you no longer use, however, the cache files are unnecessary.

Once you've analyzed your Mac's storage, you need to select the items that should be deleted. The app lets you know how much disk space will be regained, and you can also open the folders and remove files manually — this is a particularly good idea when dealing with cache data.

It is worth remembering that all files removed by Clean Me will be deleted immediately instead of being sent to the trash. Make sure you know exactly what you are cleaning and make backups if necessary.

All things considered, Clean Me is a fairly basic junk cleaner. It doesn't come with any innovative features, but it is free, open-source and very easy to use. If you're trying to salvage some disk space, this app is a good solution to try out first.
