A:

The Mac OS X runs maintenance in the background to delete temporary files for you. Best to not use any third party cleaning utilities. Let your Mac do it's job.

 

Mac OS X: About background maintenance tasks

 

Mac OS X v10.6 and later information

In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, background maintenance tasks that do not run when the computer is asleep are run after it wakes from sleep mode.

 

 

Macs do not require defragging.
