Keep Your Mac Super Clean, Tidy and Fast with MacKeeper
What most of us don’t know is that with general use of you Mac over time, you build up a number of files that start clogging up your hard drive. MacKeeper cleans your Mac from a whole range of files.
Removes Unnecessary Mac Application Language Files
Almost every Mac application you install has multiple language files taking up space. You only need one of those language files, for example English.
Removes Unused Binary Files
Mac applications come with multiple binary files. One of these binaries will allow you to run the the application on older PowerPC processor Macs and the other binary file is for running the file on the new Intel based Macs. The extra binary is still sitting on your hard drive even though you will never use it taking up hard drive space and making you Mac work harder because storage of files on the drive is less efficient. MacKeeper identifies these extra binaries and marks them for removal.
Removes Cached Files
Cached files are stored on specific areas on your hard drive to improve processing performance. MacKeeper cleans the caching area keeping it clean so your Mac doesn’t keep wasting hard drive space for while looking for more caching space on the hard drive. Removing caching files keeps your Mac running at optimal performance.
Finds and Removes Duplicate Files
A big space waster is duplicate files. Any duplicate files are found and deleted saving your valuable hard drive space for much more useful data.
Remove Mac Log Files
Mac applications often create log files for statistical data, crash reporting and usage history. MacKeeper finds and deletes unnecessary log files freeing up space on your hard drive.
Remove Unused Mac Files
Over time, we end up with so many files often files we don’t even need anymore but they end up buried in your documents and folders so we never see them wasting space. MacKeeper removes unused files on your Mac by identifying older files that haven’t been accessed in a set amount of time.
