Some people say it is better to avoid using cleaning utilities because they may harm your system and make your Mac software work incorrectly. However, in the case of CleanMyMac Classic, that is simply not true. Here is the list of files CleanMyMac Classic safely removes from your Mac:
Caches and Logs: Cache files help speed up loading application content. However, they often become corrupt due to conflicts, unexpected quits, and software updates. They should be cleaned in order to keep your Mac system optimized. Log files can also be deleted without causing harm because they are used for debugging purposes only.
Language Files: Mac OS X, and most of the apps designed for Mac OS X, was created with over a dozen languages tacked on. However, most users use only one or two languages on their Mac. CleanMyMac Classic can easily delete unnecessary language files to free up space on your Mac.
Universal Binaries: In order to support both Intel and PowerPC architectures, many applications contain Universal Binaries. Since your Mac uses only one architecture code, there is no need to waste your disk space on the second type of architecture code. Removing this other, unnecessary structure file, you can reclaim some sizable disk space.
System Junk: Mac OS X and Mac software typically generate many of their own files (such as .DS_Store, .Spotlight-V100 and others) for debugging purposes. These files can be deleted without harming your applications.
Trashes & Leftovers: Every deleted widget, application and broken preference pane can leave leftovers on your system. These files, along with data in your Trashes (including your iPhoto Trash) are unnecessary and can also be removed.
iPhoto supporting files: If you keep your photo collection in iPhoto, then it’s more than likely that it’s full of supporting files that take up to 15-25% of your entire library. These supporting files include photos that have already been modified or automatically rotated, duplicates, and others. CleanMyMac Classic can easily find and delete these files without affecting your photo library.
As you see, CleanMyMac Classic knows how to fully clean your Mac. It knows what types of unnecessary files to remove and how to safely remove them.
