MacBookPro with rainbow circle many times a day...

My MacBook Pro is not working properly. The little rainbow circle appears at least 3 times per day. Sometimes the cursor gets frozen for several minutes. I am planning to delete everything and start it from the scratch (not from the Time Machine). Is that the best option? I already installed CleanMyMacX to clean ram and other maintenance features but not major improvements.

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN

You do not need to "clean ram"

Advised to look for an 'officai'l uninstaller to remove the CCMX from your machine —start there.
