Running CleanMyMac2 and Backing Up

Should I run CleanMyMac2 on my iMac desktop computer to free up space to download Yosemite? Currently have Maverick, 10.9.5 Version Safari 4GB, Storage availability 951.73GB of 999.35GB?


Is it necessary to run Backup before installing Yosemite?

No need to run CleanMyMac2. In fact on these forums I have read numerous reports of problems caused by such software.


You have plenty of space to download Yosemite, it requires less than 10 GB and you have more than 950 GB available.


You absolutely should make one, or preferably two, backups before making a change to the operating system.
