Over time and especially if we are not in the habit of carrying out a clean installation of each new version of macOS that Apple launches on the market every year, it is very likely that our hard drive is a cluster of meaningless, duplicate, temporary, useless files ... It is always advisable with the release of each new version of iOS perform a clean install since it allows us to clean our hard disk, a thorough cleaning since it is also advisable to format the hard disk where we are going to install them.
But if we are lazy every year, formatting our hard drive to install a new version of macOS, it is likely that we have a large number of duplicate files on our hard drive. In the Mac App Store we can find a large number of applications that allow us to find and eliminate duplicate files. The application The Duplicates Cleaner, which has a regular price of 1,99 euros, is available for free for a limited time. This application is capable of finding any file, no matter how hidden it is. Before starting the search process we have to establish the location of the folders where we want the search to be carried out.
When the application has carried out an exhaustive analysis of our Mac, it will show us all the duplicate files, files that we can safely delete, since these files will be moved directly to the recycle bin, so if we check that any file had not been erased we will be able to retrieve it quickly at any time. This application received its last update on November 16, adapting to the new and better functions that macOS Sierra brought us. The Duplicates Cleaner, occupies just over 4 MB and is only available in English.
Hello, just for commenting. I just downloaded it and Flextivity has detected me that it has an OSX / AMC Malware, how can we confirm whether or not it is a false positive? Thanks
Good john
This application has been on the Mac App Store since September 2013, it is assumed that if Apple had detected a problem it would have removed it from the store.
