Cleaner one

I have updated to big sur 11.2.3 and the cleaner one app. does not work properly. I have an update for that app on the app store but it can not be updated. Would you recommend just deleting this app? I really like it... Thanks

Macs really don't need "cleaner" apps, but if you prefer to use one, like Cleaner One, that of course, is totally up to you. In this case, you can either wait for the developer to release a newer update that is compatible with macOS Big Sur, or as you suggested, just delete it.
