- For
- Mac users reclaiming space without risking files
- Worth noticing
- The cleanup view separates rebuildable caches from real files, and says selected items go to Trash rather than being permanently deleted.
Field notes
The page lays out seven sections—Overview, Search, Space, Cleanup, Duplicates, Apps, and Old files—and shows a sample scan with 1,284,902 files and 358 GB used. Cleanup is split into “Safe to clear” and “Worth a look”; the first groups caches and build folders, while the second includes disk images and old downloads. DiskMate says selected items move to Trash, with permanent deletion reserved for the Trash itself.
