MAC Keeper App

Is the MAC Keeper App a valid and useful app for cleaning up my i-MAC or is it a bad choice.


If it is a bad choice, how does one get rid of it?


Thank you

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

It's a bad choice for an unnecessary task.


Never install any app that claims to "tune up", "speed up" or "clean up" your Mac. These apps exist for one reason: to separate the unwary and inexperienced user from their hard-earned money. At best they do very little, at worst, they can damage your OS installation and cause far more problems than they "solve".
