The part of the app that is a killer feature in my opinion and that appeals to my undiagnosed OCD is the uninstall feature. One of the areas where other reviewers have experienced big speed increases has been in the bloated Apple Mail application, which I don't use.Īfter the initial scan, you do get occasional reminders that you need to run it again, although these tend to be much less satisfying as they only save a few hundred megabytes of hard disk space. I also felt satisfied and it definitely freed up some much-needed hard drive space. It could've been in my own head but things did feel a bit snappier, in particular loading Adobe Photoshop. I went ahead and the process took about two minutes to complete all the necessary maintenance. These two represented almost all of my space savings.

On my system, out of the numerous areas it looked at, the two key areas were System Junk and Localisation files.

I've got a MacBook Air with a fixed hard drive of 120GB and this was nearly full.Īfter first running the Smart Cleanup it identified over 6GB of unnecessary files that it could clean. There are so many individual types of maintenance tasks that you can do with the tool that they've bundled them all up into a Smart Cleanup routine, which does all the key ones in one go. It's visual and shows you what tile of maintenance task it's completing at any one time.
