    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

I have always been used to using Windows, but recently I found an old MacBook that was running very slowly. I found that I could free up a lot of space by cleaning it. I didn't want to install the best mac cleaning software, so I used the terminal to solve the problem. Here are some simple and effective command line methods:

Clean up the system cache

bash
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/*


This trick freed up several gigabytes of storage space, which is cleaner than installing the best mac cleaning software.

Clean up browser junk files

bash
rm -rf ~/Library/Safari/*
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/*


Chrome used to open web pages very slowly, but it was much smoother after cleaning.

Delete system log files

sudo rm -rf /private/var/log/*


I found that there were a lot of log files piled up in the system, and after deleting them, I actually recovered a lot of space. These commands are simple to operate and can really make your old Mac feel faster. I recommend you try it!
