Cleaning your Mac with Fast Cleanup

Watch tutorial on Fast Cleanup

Fast Cleanup unites four different drive clean-up utilities – Binaries Cutter, Cache Cleaner, Languages Cutter and Logs Cleaner.

There are different reasons for lack of disk space; therefore each cleaner has its own approach to hard drive clean-up.

  • Binaries Cutter removes components of applications that support old and hence unneeded architectures. It checks which architecture the Mac currently uses and then cuts another part of the application designed for another architecture.
  • Cache Cleaner and Logs Cleaner delete old cache and log files.
  • Languages Cutter deletes unused application interface localizations.

When you click Fast Cleanup on the navigation bar, the four drive clean-up utilities will look like this:
