I just installed mavericks on my macbook. I didn't get any options for a clean installation.
Is there any way I can clean up my mac (delete old files which might lag the system) automatically?
I do of course have a back up on the files I want to keep on an external hard drive.
Greatful for any response.
MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Not really. And don't trust any programs that do. They can actually make your Mac slower. Leave the Mac on in screen saver mode, not energy saver or closed overnight once a month to clean the logfiles.
Delete those files you don't need that you created yourself.
Find out from various vendors where they store the supporting files for their applications if you don't want to use certain applications anymore, and delete those applications.
The biggest lag is storage. Never let your Mac get over 85% full.

tkamdal,
You won't be able to see an option for a "clean install" if you have installed the "Mavericks OS X" as an update. To have your Mac for a "clean install", you either need a DVD Mavericks OS X or a bootable USB Mavericks OS X.
Cheers.
