Freeing up space safely

What the cleaner looks for and how to review it.

Applies to: macOSWindows

The cleaner looks only for items on a fixed list: temporary files, unfinished downloads, Office lock files, leftover logs and rebuildable developer caches. On Mac, Organizer › Junk & caches also covers browser and app caches; on Windows, browser page caches are offered when your whole user folder is allowed.

  1. Open Free Up Space and start the scan.
  2. Each item shows what it is, when it last changed and its size.
  3. Items marked check first are not pre-selected. Look at them before including them.
  4. Review the summary and confirm. Items are moved to the Trash or Recycle Bin.

Space is only fully freed when you empty the Trash or Recycle Bin yourself.
