Do U Really Need a Mac Cleaning Software
Mac OS is known for its simplicity and a clean interface. With the first few months of my Mac usage, it felt extremely smooth and I never had to worry about hardware space. However, after some time, when I had downloaded a few pages of rubbish apps, I started to see the annoying warning of “Your startup disk is almost full”.

How To Identify the Deletable Files?
– By Googling
After you’ve found out about the large files, it can be tricky to know if the file will be safe to delete. As a general rule, cache files are safe to delete. Other than that, you do have to Google around to see what a role the file is really playing in your system. Be careful though, deleting a system crucial file can result in irreversible data loss or system bugs.

CleanMyMac will help you identify the cache and log files that will be safe to delete. Deleting those will not cause any harm to your computer at all, and at the same time, you have saved gigabytes of storage. CleanMyMac will also help you identify the redundant photo files which the system created when you were editing your photos in the Photos app. These files are, again, safe to delete, because they can be regenerated from its other versions.
