Cleaning Your Mac with Fast Cleanup

Watch tutorial on Fast Cleanup

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

  • Binaries Cutter removes application components that support old and therefore unneeded architectures. It checks the current architecture and then cuts another part of the application designed for another architecture.
  • Cache Cleaner and Logs Cleaner remove old cache and log files.
  • Languages Cutter removes unused localizations of user interface.

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