A Simple Way to Clean Junk From a Mac

By Ati Agrawal Published February 27, 2019 Updated October 2, 2022

Did you know that right at this very moment you probably have quite a few files on your Mac’s hard drive that are serving no purpose whatsoever? Some of these could be old cache files and logs that haven’t been cleared, while others may be duplicate files, unused localizations for apps, or even trash bins that are taking up space.

The problem with having all these unnecessary files is that not only will they eat into your storage space – but they could also actually slow your Mac down. Because of that, you will want to clean all the junk from your Mac periodically so that it never gets to the point where it can actually begin to affect its performance.

If you really want to you could locate and delete all the junk files on your Mac manually – but that is a time-consuming process and there’s no guarantee that you’ll end up finding all of them. Instead of that, it would be much faster and easier to use software that automates the process – such as Movavi Mac Cleaner.

Scan and Delete Junk in a Click

One of the best things about Movavi Mac Cleaner is the fact that it is almost effortless to use. In fact, the only thing you really need to do is launch the software, wait for the automatic scan to complete and then click on a single button to remove all the junk files that were found.

Before you do that you could go over the visual report that will give you details on how and where space is being wasted on your hard drive. If you want you could also choose to direct Movavi Mac Cleaner to remove only certain types of junk files.

Another big source of wasted space on your hard drive may be unused apps or leftovers from apps that you had tried to uninstall in the past. Because of that, it is worth using the ‘Uninstaller’ feature in Movavi Mac Cleaner to remove both the apps you don’t need, as well as any leftovers.

For anyone who uses their Mac for work or handles sensitive and confidential files, it may be a good idea to use the ‘Shredder’ to delete those files. It will ensure that the files you delete are safely removed in a fashion that prevents them from being recovered.

Ultimately you stand to free up a considerable amount of space on your Mac using Movavi Mac Cleaner. By the time you’re done apps, you will be amazed at how much difference that can make to your Mac’s speed and assuming you clean it regularly you can keep it running that way.
