About mac-cleanup-go
mac-cleanup-go scans selected caches, logs, temporary files, and app data, then shows their sizes and paths for review. Users choose what to delete, and items normally go to the Trash; the Trash category empties it permanently.
Risky categories are unselected by default, and some categories provide guidance rather than deleting files. The tool is a macOS terminal application, not a system optimizer or uninstaller.
Strengths
- Shows paths and sizes before deletion
- Sends deleted items to the Trash by default
- Lets users select categories and review individual items
