   Great App and fantastic service

   I had a problem with a half-removed anti-virus install and old 'protected' files I could not delete from the Mac's Bin. App Cleaner was the only application I could find (8th I tried) which properly removed the remnants of the AV application and allowed my Mac to boot without the long freezes which I suffered while booting. The protected files in the Bin it could not handle, but their support team offered a remote session to see what could be done. They connected and worked some magical commands via the terminal app and the files were deleted without issue. So all of my problems were solved. This was all done whilst I was still using the trial version of the application. So to conclude - a superb application, fantastic service which went way and beyond any expectations. They've gained a lifetime user. I wish more developers were this awesome.

   👍 Pros:    Fast support|High quality|Accurate|Great communication|, not expensive

CleanMyMac X mentions (23)

• Deleted all files and still not enough to update (2019 MacBook Air)

  A little obvious perhaps….. Have you tried a cleaning tool such as this; https://macpaw.com/cleanmymac. Source: about 1 year ago

• Never owned anything with Mac OS before, having this issue. Talk to me like I’m the biggest idiot in the world as I’ve spent the last 30 years on windows

  CleanMyMac is not anywhere close to the previously mentioned app. We are notarized by our friends at Apple and have been reviewed and available on the Mac App Store with strict rules about the security of all software distributed on the platform. You can learn about our features in more detail here: https://macpaw.com/cleanmymac. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for System and File Manager for Windows 11 that has similar functionality to "CleanMyMac X" for MacOS

  Here's a link to CleanMyMac X for reference: https://macpaw.com/cleanmymac. Source: over 1 year ago

• Updating to the new Mac OS

  We run the app CleanMyMac X about once a week on our 3 Macs. They never become slow. This app can also do a lot of other helpful stuff in a safe way. We have used it for several years. https://macpaw.com/cleanmymac. Source: over 1 year ago

• Went from 15 /10 gb to 60/20 GB due to language files and Divinity

  Back in 2008, I used Clean My Mac to keep things tidy and a wonderful feature was to delete extra languages from apps! I see they still do that but as you can imagine, this has jack shit to do with Steam, much less Steam on Linux. Source: over 1 year ago

• Adguard for Safari No Longer Working After installing and uninstalling Adguard for Mac

  Try using a tool such as this to remove all the leftovers from the app and give the installation another crack. Source: 11 months ago

• How to uninstall without the uninstall tool on MacOS?

  Thank you!! I was really hoping to avoid the hard way since I’m not techy and actually ended up using a free trial of the Nektony App Cleaner & Uninstaller (added link for others with this issue). Source: about 1 year ago

• Method to download older versions

  I suggest using an alternative complete app uninstall over the MacPaw monstrosity, which is notoriously harmful to system file integrity. I use Nektony App Cleaner & Uninstaller, which serves the sole purpose of complete uninstalls, unlike CleanMyMacX. Most importantly, highlight all files related to an app and then leave the removal action up to the user manually so that you can see exactly what will be removed,... Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there an app that cleans up leftovers from a deleted app?

  Nektony App Cleaner & Uninstaller is showing login items and leftover files, but I’m not sure the latter is very reliable. It often lists files from apps that are still installed too, so handle with care. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best alternative to CleanMyMac X ?

  I use CMMX for the various tools it has and since it's included in Setapp, but for removing apps and cleaning up leftovers I tend to prefer https://nektony.com/mac-app-cleaner - they're another Mac app company based in Ukraine. Source: over 1 year ago
