File Information

Came across this file whilst using CCleaner to clean up clutter on my MacBook Air OS Monterey 12.6.6. Can anyone advise what this file is as unable to find information and what Geoservices is used for.


Thanks

As I said above:


GeoServices is what supports Location Services, and this is its db.


And this is why these "cleaning" apps are dangerous, especially for the inexperienced user. They can lead you to delete necessary items and so lead to you hosing the entire system.


At best they do very little, at worst, they can damage your OS installation and cause far more problems than they "solve".

And the file name is...?


Oh and standard warning: 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".
