At least once a week you need to get rid of this junk to keep your Mac running like new, and that’s where CleanMyMac comes in.

CleanMyMac is a fantastic app which is now available for Mac users of any description to keep your Mac running at optimum performance. As soon as the app is activated, it will start by scanning your Mac for anything it can remove. This ranges from (but is not limited to) app diagnostic files, language files and leftover files from programs you have previously uninstalled. The great news is it can even scan USB’s and other removable hardware.

Once the scan is complete, you will be presented with a list of all what the app has deemed unnecessary. You can then have a look through and move any files you want to keep to an ignore list. Ensuring they are kept safe from the removal process. Then just press the ‘Clean’ button to delete all unwanted files. The function is relatively speedy and will have your Mac clean in the blink of an eye.

CleanMyMac also comes with a range of other useful utilities and features such as the manage extension option; this allows users the ability to clean Preference Panes, widgets and plugins from your Mac. A great tool if you no longer want a particular file which can be done whenever you want to remove it. There is also a quick erase box, meaning it securely deletes files without having to go in and empty them from trash as well as a drop box. The drop box allows you to uninstall apps and all associated files.

CleanMyMac is really a brilliant app and a must for any Mac user who wants to save space and likes keeping their device in tip-top shape. It costs $29.95 for unlimited use, but you do have the option of purchasing it for a six month period slightly cheaper.
