What is the best Mac cleaner software?

As Linc Davis and all the other posters except the previous one pointed out, stay away from these so-called 'cleaners, boosters, enhancers,' etc. If you have some sort of problem, just state that and more experienced posters will assist you to sort that out. If some functionality does not perform as expected, state your expectation and wysiwyg results so that the delta could be dealt with. From the list above, Log files are important indicators that could point to serious problems and should not just be discarded at will. Lots of posters will ask you for these Logs to pinpoint a problem. Caches are there to speed up your experience, and deleting them all would just lead to some being recreated again, which defies the objective. Obviously deleting the content of the Trash is fine. I would seriously shy away from almost all the 'solutions' proposed in the second last point, with the exception of Apple's own tools.

I haven't tried all of software personally so can't comment exactly which software is surely the best. But let me tell you there are many Mac cleaner now compared to earlier. Below are some helpful links.

Never, never, never provide links to "cleaners," "boosters," "optimizers," "refreshers," or "organizers" on these boards. They are scams. They negatively impact the performance of the computers they are installed on and do far more harm than whatever good they advertise. Apple computers do not need that junk, and it's wildly irresponsible to claim that they do.

I am using an old [PPC] iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11

I tend to avoid so called 'disk cleaners' and 'disk optomisers' etc; but one, (OK! I admit it, three), I do find and work without giving me stress/headache is... OnyX available from http://www.titanium.free.fr/ (also available on other sites).

The other two other useful apps from the same site are Maintenance and Deeper and are parts of OnyX. It is not neccessary to have all three, but for a quick clean/optomise then having them as separate apps too is a bonus if you want a quick clean/optomise.

Best part of all... They are all free! 😉

Dr. Cleaner is my favorite Mac cleaner app. Yes it's free

So, you get less than you pay for.

I don't know what junk

This is a dreadful suggestion, if you work for Mac Cleaner you should disclose it.

It is not from Apple, Mac Cleaner is a scam, don't fall for it.

you can try such cleaners as Macfly Pro or Onyx. They are safe and quick.

That of course is a matter of opinion, I wouldn't let either of them near a Mac of mine.

This is not good advice to our members. No Mac "cleaning apps" are of any use to Macs and likely as not will cause harm to the system and trouble for the members to get the matter repaired.

Good morning seventy one. The user above is a known spammer, with links to known click-bait site. I have already reported, but please feel free to report any and all of their spam links. Thanks.

Greetings stedman1,

Yes. Reported it (as have previously done). But a condemning reply is still needed to ensure members reading for the first time are not roped in.

We are, two of like mind. 😀
