If you have a big disk drive then caches are best left alone. If your Mac’s disk is seriously short of disk space then clearing them could make a significant difference, at least until the caches fill up again. Some SSDs are quite small and are easily filled, so this can temporarily help free up space.
There are application caches, application logs, browser data, Trash Can, Downloads and a few more.Īpplication caches can grow quite big and they amounted to 1.3GB on the Mac the app was tested on. On the Disk Cleaner tab are items that can be cleaned to free up disk space organised into categories. When it runs, it displays two tabs and there is Disk Cleaner and Uninstaller. This free app from HALFBIT (the name is app capitals for some reason), is just 1.5MB and so it downloads and installs in no time at all. Cleanup apps that free up disk space are always useful. The name makes a bold claim and that is one worth investigating. Among the top free utilities in the Mac App Store is Disk Cleaner – The Best Cleanup App.
