The best thing you can do with CleanMyMac is to uninstall it completely.

Go to the developers website and get full instructions on uninstalling this

software, simply deleting the app is not enough.


CleanMyMac is often cited as being more harmful to your mac than any benefits it pretends to

bestow on your mac. It will often flag up files as threats which you may be tempted to delete,

these files are often system files and deleting them could cripple your mac.


Macs do not need any apps that claim to clean and optimise your mac.

The mac looks after itself pretty well.

Same goes for anti-virus apps, not needed on macs.
