    CleanGeeker, the best Mac cleaning software I found recently. It works perfectly on my Mac. I can use it to remove junk, scan large files, find duplicate files and bulk uninstall apps. You can give it a try on your own Mac: https://www.microonn.com/best-mac-cleaner

As a user who is used to using Windows, I found a few simple methods to achieve the best mac cleaner effect without installing any third-party tools when I was playing with my old MacBook:

1. Manually clean the browser cache

Open Safari or Chrome browser → Select "History" → "Clear History and Website Data" on the menu bar.

It can quickly free up hundreds of MB to several GB of space, and the effect is obvious and safe.

2. Delete unused language packs

Enter the "Applications" folder, right-click on any App, and select "Show Package Contents" → Contents → Resources.

Find the language folder ending with .lproj, and delete all unused language folders except en.lproj (English) and zh_CN.lproj (Simplified Chinese).

This method can effectively save a lot of disk space, especially for old Macs.

3.Empty the Trash and bypass system protection

If there are files in the Trash that cannot be deleted or are occupied, you can open the terminal and enter:

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*


Force the Trash to be empty, and the effect will be immediate.

These three methods are simple and direct, and can be regarded as the pure manual version of the best mac cleaner software, which are worth trying.
