Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
All "cleaning" software is junk. If your Mac is slow, we need an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:
- Navigate to: https://etrecheck.com and get the free version of EtreCheckPro.
- Download it. It is a free and trusted app. It is often recommended here on Apple Support Communities.
- Open EtreCheck, and before running the report, be sure to check “Allow full Drive Access” at the bottom of the EtreCheckPro window.
- Run the report, and put it in a post, as seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.
Cheers,
Jack
