Macs, like cats, clean themselves, and have since about 2000. Anything that claims they also need do that is a....well, I think you know the word.


The other responders have wisely indicated this is bad idea The compelling reason ∫ is that the OS that you paid Apple to develop has elegant, built-in self-maintenance routines.

Third-party apps that claim to do this interfere with those wonderful built-in functions and degrade performance and stability...if you are lucky!
