You can set alerts for Mac health to warn when free space is below a certain amount, trash size exceeds beyond a certain size, etc. Likewise, you can also "Empty Trash" by moving the cursor to the "Trash" tab. If memory is highly running out, you can choose the "Memory" tab and click "Free Up". It shows how much free storage space you can use, the status of memory usage, battery information, and trash size Trash size. Enable it, and you can get a quick overview of how your Mac is. You can access the feature from the CleanMyMac Menu. Three main sections are offered by CleanMyMac 3: Health Monitoring, Cleaning, and Utilities.
MacPaw announces the software contains no virus or malware.
According to its official site, the answer is absolutely safe. Is CleanMyMac 3 safe to scan and clean Mac? It is up to the definition of "Safe" you think of. The new CleanMyMac 3 has increased several useful features like improved Smart Cleanup, cleaning out Mail attachments and iTunes junk, Mac health alerts, and some maintenance utilities. Only within a few of clicks, you are able to scan and clean the junk or unneeded files you probably want to get rid of. Another selling point of CleanMyMac3 is that it is very easy to use. In addition to cleaning unneeded files on your Mac, it also improve its performance. The program has been updated to CleanMyMac 3.
This dovetails nicely with the program’s access to preference files and settings that might be a little hard to find if you’re a casual user. This doesn’t go into developer-level explanations, but it serves to tell you what you’re about to do, what changes will be made, and gives you sufficient information prior to clicking the Scan or Clean button. CleanMyMac 3 also includes a brief explanation about what each test does and what it repairs. To its credit, MacPaw took the CleanMyMac 2’s more-frenetic-than-a-happy-puppy user interface and dialed it down a bit, which makes it a bit more helpful in the current version. When you remove an app, CleanMyMac 3’s uninstaller makes sure you’re not leaving any app files behind. On my late 2013 model Mac Pro, with its minimal 256GB flash storage, CleanMyMac 3 was able to retrieve 18.1GB of storage space, and the computer ran without a hitch afterwards.
CleanMyMac 3 comes in handy in a world filled with incredibly fast but still relatively small solid state drives, where regaining a dozen or so gigabytes of space certainly isn’t a bad thing.
