You don’t have enough free space on your Mac<\/a>‘s SSD, and anyway that computer is running so slowly. There are things you can do to fix that, but MacCleaner Pro does most of it \u2014 and does it well. <\/p>\n

\n

If you were a PC user back in the day, you got used to running apps to perform system maintenance functions, like disk defragmentation. You haven’t had to do that since you got a Mac, as macOS<\/a> routinely performs essential storage and security maintenance by itself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yet there are still times when a maintenance app is particularly useful, such as when you need more storage space right now. One of the many things MacCleaner Pro does is surface all the disk space<\/a> that you’re wasting with, for instance, duplicate files. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Or even if you’re incredibly organized and never duplicate anything, you’ve still got a lot of language options taking up space on the Mac. If all you speak is, say, American, British, and Australian, then there are dozens of European countries’ languages that you can’t delete \u2014 but MacCleaner Pro can. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then ultimately, every app is really a database of some kind and when a database gets big, or gets corrupted, everything slows down. So MacCleaner Pro can, for example, rebuild your Apple Mail index from scratch. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That’s just what the Mac’s Mail does when you upgrade to a new macOS, but with an app like MacCleaner Pro, you don’t have to wait for then. When you’ve a problem, when Mail seems very slow, run this app to rebuild it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One app to launch them all<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

MacCleaner looks like it’s one single app, and it looks like it’s simple to use. There’s just one big button marked Fast Cleanup<\/em>, for instance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In practice, the MacCleaner Pro you see most of the time is really an umbrella app. You start work using it, but as soon as you go a little further, you’re really launching one of fic separate apps. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That’s probably because the makers of MacCleaner Pro are consequently able to sell each of those five individually. So if you know you don’t need the whole suite, you can separately buy: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
