Hello everyone i recently found out about this application for my macbook air called "Memory Clean" and i was wondering how efficient this is in cleaning up ram space? is using it a waste of time? is the app safe? etc.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Sound Change
Apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, Memory Clean, etc. or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
They really aren't.
The are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
These types of "cleaning" Applications are useless and really scams to rob newbie and novice Mac users of their hard earned cash for a poorly coded/developed application that will cause a LOT more harm than the good the developer of these apps claim/portends the apps will do.
Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

You have no clue about the subject, just going on and on with bad advice.
But at least we will know that from now on.

Hi Michael, this post is just about Memory Clean app, I've never mentioned any other apps. Please read again my posts.

Just copy the links of the ASC, and please show me all the posts regarding system issues, systems damaged or at great risk caused by this app. I've searched over the thousands of posts at the Apple Support Community and couldn't find any. So, sorry but I don't agree.

Uh...I was addressing the original OP inquiries and not responding to you.
Memory Clean is "garbageware/scamware" that is TOTALLY NOT ever needed on OS X.
The user confuses Memory Clean with iClean Memory, there are 2 different programs. Also, he's talking about a Mavericks upgrade, who knows what others problems where involved. Anyway, lets suppose it won't open, where the OS risk or damage? And where are the lot of cases you people complain? Only 1 between more than 1.5 million posts?
Nice argument. The original OP was already addressed many times by the clan.
I am more than ever convinced that your persistence in defending this software is out of self interest. Or something similar.
Carry on, we've read it all before.

How efficient is Memory clean?
