• Deleted important files - Don't use with Mavericks

  johndpattonFebruary 26, 2014

  Pros

  None - better products out there

  Cons

  Do not use with iCloud Keychain - it deleted important browser data (even though I selected the ignore these files option) - I contacted support and they never replied...

  Summary

  There are much better free products out there....

• Unpleasant surprises

  mpiasNovember 18, 2013

  Pros

  Freed up almost 2GB

  Cons

  Erased the Junk Mail info in Mail Restarts became troublesome

  Summary

  MacCleanse seems to have removed any information regarding what distinguishes real mail from junk mail. Now everything hits my mailbox and the computer needs to relearn the information it had been gathering for years. To add insult to injury, my rMBP refused to boot if a certain USB drive was attached. I had to repartition the drive before the computer would reboot with it plugged in. Part of my troubleshooting was to reinstall the OS which had no effect, meaning that MacCleanse did something to a drive it was not asked analyze or modify. I was fortunate that I received MacCleanse for free in a bundle, but if I had paid for it I would have been very upset. Wasting an evening troubleshooting my boot problems and now having to tell Mail which emails are junk is too high a price to pay for 1.9 GB freed. I deleted the program and feel much safer and happier for having done so. BTW, all this was done on a 2012 rMBP running OSX 10.9.

• Keeps my Mac so fresh and so clean

  dirtyharrison84December 1, 2011

  Pros

  This is a great app for keeping your Mac in tip-top shape. It is probably on the most useful applications I have on my Mac. Keeps my computer clean and gives warning when folders take up too much memory.

  Cons

  It will occasionally freeze my Mac and cause a reboot, but works well otherwise.

• Easy to use, through scrubbing

  cmeneelyJune 18, 2011

  Pros

  Fairly quick, easy to use, does a through job (as far as I can tell)

  Cons

  Does a cleaning job on all categories irregardless whether it got a clean bill-of-health or not - this seems to waste time. Fortunately, the cleaning process is reasonably fast.

  Summary

  Rapid and easy cleaning program that covers most of the critical bases.

• Great clean up program

  aocsgilFebruary 6, 2011

  Pros

  cleans trash, history, unwanted languages, download files etc.

  Cons

  Be careful what you select to be cleaned....READ Instructions carefully and you should have no problem.

  Summary

  Very effective in cleaning.....As per advertised.

• I've only tried it twice, not sure how effective it is

  lathangtFebruary 1, 2011

  Pros

  I really wonder how necessary software like this is when used with Apple computers. There seems to be sufficient internal programs to keep everything cleaned up.

  Cons

  No cons that I could detect.

  Summary

• To good to be true!?

  zyng22November 14, 2010

  Pros

  Quick (except when removing languages and associations) and thorough!

  Cons

  Removing language packs requires you enter your admin code on the mac every 15 minutes, I was going crazy!

  Summary

  This app essentially saved me over 40gb of space, if not more. I'm trying to find some ugly reality of this to rear it's head, but so far so good. Anyway, highly recommend buying as I did. Thx.

• it works if you read the instructions

  hudsonwOctober 20, 2008

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I read the instructions, set the preferences and selected the files I wanted deleted. MacClease deleted only the files I selected and immediately recovered 5GB of disk space. It worked the first time I tried it. I am no Einstein but this is not difficult software to use. The instructions are minimal and if I was unsure what I was deleting, the information panel told me what I was doing in plain English. I can think of more complex software or confusing procedures to do what MacCleanse does so handily but that doesn't seem like a productive use of time and energy.
