A practical workflow

  1. Step 1: Press Scan to scan the disk or folder; a full disk with millions of files takes about twenty seconds on Apple silicon.
  2. Step 2: Review the scan results to see what is safe to clear and what is worth inspecting; open, Quick Look, or reveal files in Finder.
  3. Step 3: Tick items to clean and press Clean; all selected items are moved to the Trash for safety.
