How to Clean Your Mac Book for Free?

There are a lot of free techniques to clean and maintain your Mac that you will find here.

You will have to differentiate the turbo cleaning from the regular maintenance tasks:

Check Repair permissions and also check the integrity of your disk:

Unlike a Windows architecture that tends to organize files, Your Mac does a bit too, Mac that is based on a Unix kernel (similar to what is done at Linux) and tends to better tidy the files and better “compartmentalize” them (to make it very simple).

Your Mac uses a system based on permissions between these files which must be regularly repaired to help your operating system to work better.

We can compare this to a defragmentation in Windows even if in practice it does not have much to see. So you will have to repair the permissions between your files as regularly as possible to optimize your installation.

Get Rid of Unused or Heavy Apps:

We all tend to install a lot of softwares that we do not use more than that and that later tend to take a lot of space on our hard drive. It is good to take a tour of installed programs to get rid of unnecessary applications and recover volume on your drive.

For example, I personally always take the habit of moving my DMG installation files to an external drive to keep track of my installers and not clutter my main drive. A good App to help you is WhatSize that will allow you to quickly realize which Apps or large files are present on your installation.

There is now a whole bunch of online storage applications (in the cloud) to store all your big files on an external drive. It may also be good to use a disk for your system (SSD type for better performance) and a hybrid or conventional disk (HDD) for your file storage but we will come back to it later.

Remove Duplicates:

OSX does not offer the Cut-Paste option which is so important for many users (especially those coming from Windows). I did not even understand why this option was not available on OSX at the beginning (and even on old Apple OS), until the day my companion lost all its data during a crash that occurred in full “Moving” all its data from his Windows computer to an external drive…

Morality non-presence of the Copy-Paste has its advantage but still poses the problem of duplicates that are more likely to be created. Some OSX-specific applications like the address book have an option to remove duplicates.

Get rid of Widgets if you do not use them. These are constantly in the background and use resources for nothing.

  1. Limit the number of apps that launch at startup. Convenient if your Mac is slow to load after launch.
  2. Regular maintenance
  3. Empty as often as possible your key folders such as download folders, documents, music, videos … and sort on your Desktop!
  4. Empty your caches and delete any temporary files.
  5. Monitor your CPU activity for the apps that use the most resources. Appointment in your applications, utilities and activity monitor.
  6. Do a scan with an antivirus.
  7. Organize your files using your Finder thanks to the documents folder. Avoid a council to shield your office!
  8. Empty your trash regularly.
  9. These tasks are often quite daunting and in an environment where we are all more and more taken by the daily grind, using the software provided for this purpose can allow you to save considerable time via the automation of cleaning tasks!
