I have heard CleanMyMac is bad. Should I delete it?

CleanMyMac is an application made by MacPaw, A Ukranian/Californian software company with a good reputation.

CleanMyMac offers a couple of features that can be of help for Mac users that struggle to keep their harddrive from filling up; it can clean up temporary files, old iTunes-backups, logfiles and unused language files, it can empty your trashcan for you, warn you when you run out of disk space, and help you remove Apps properly.

Most of this can be done manually, or with free alternatives like Onyx. CMM presents you with a goodlooking app, but at a price.

If you think the price is worth it, CMM is not a bad app. But don’t expect miracles from it. A lot of problems won’t be solved by cleaning caches or things like that. If you want a faster Mac, usually a clean install, adding more Ram or a Solid State Drive will be your best options.

On one occasion I came across a Mac that froze after every action. I deleted CleanMyMac, and the problem was gone. That was one time, all the other people I know that use CMM, have no problems with it.

In short:

  • If you don’t have issues, you don’t need CMM
  • If you do have issues, there’s no harm in trying it
  • If you use CMM and have issues, there is a possibility CMM is causing them. Special Offer:
